I noticed the other day they have begun working on this building.
I'm predicting that this area of downtown will look very different in the next few years.
This project, plus Iowa Tap Room nearby and now the developer doing the
Peach Tree building is also doing the large building directly across E Court Avenue as well. I wonder if we could see even more craft brewery related entities start to locate here in this area? Add in that larger garage looking building at the back of the
Peach Tree property which is slated for redevelopment too, and you're going to have a lot of new, recently rehabbed commercial space available soon....with the Iowa Tap Room as the area's "anchor". Add in that you can still say your are downtown....as well as close to bike trails....seems ripe for bars/restaurants/breweries/taps. .
Here is latest renderings of both the
Peach Tree Taproom and also the larger building across the street.

The days of simply saying, "let's head down to Court Avenue" and everyone knowing what you mean might be waning. You may have to specify East Court or Court Avenue (west) or risk ending up on opposite sides of the river.
