HUNTSVILLE, ALA. — Emergent Properties and RNGD have broken ground on The Lewter District, a $50 million adaptive reuse project in downtown Huntsville. Situated on 1.5 acres, the mixed-use development is a conversion and restoration of the historic Lewter Hardware Co. store that closed in 2022 after nearly a century of operation.
