by John Nelson November 21, 2024

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. Phase I of the development will feature 14 luxury residences along Washington Street called Lewter District Townhomes. Sanders Pace Architecture designed the residential community, which is expected to be completed by late 2025. Phase II comprises a renovation of the original hardware store building. The restored building will house farm-to-table restaurant Brick & Tin on the ground level and outdoor patio spaces as well as offices for RNGD on the second floor. Phase III calls for a ground-up, five-story office building. National law firm Maybard Nexsen has committed to occupying the top two floors of the office building, which will also feature ground-level retail space. EskewDumezRipple is the architect for the second and third phases of The Lewter District. Phases I and II are underway and Phase III is slated to break ground before the end of the year.

Flight to Quality Persists in Milwaukee Office Market

by Kristin Harlow November 21, 2024

By Matt Hunter, Hunter Real Estate Over the past few years, we have seen a noticeable trend in office tenants relocating to new office buildings, particularly in downtown Milwaukee. Notable companies such as Baker Tilly (~40,000 square feet), Old National Bank (~20,000 square feet), CBRE (~15,000 square feet) and Silvercrest Asset Management (~11,000 square feet) have all moved into new office buildings, which are classified as being constructed within the past five years. While these relocations highlight a shift in tenant preferences toward newer buildings, most leasing activity has been observed in recently renovated office buildings. One prime example of this is Baird, which expanded and renewed over 450,000 square feet at 777 E. Wisconsin Ave., reinforcing the demand for renovated office buildings. Other significant leasing transactions include Fiserv, which leased ~160,000 square feet at HUB640; Enerpac’s ~50,000-square-foot lease and Veolia’s ~30,000-square-foot lease at 648 N. Plankinton; Marcus Corp.’s ~50,000-square-foot lease at The Associated Bank River Center; and Allspring Global Investments leasing ~40,000 square feet at 417 E. Chicago St. These transactions further demonstrate the attractiveness of renovated spaces for businesses looking to enhance their operations. This trend reflects a broader “flight to quality” in the office market. Tenants are …
