Iowa City high-rise plan combines two projects into one
Developers behind two proposed downtown towers merge efforts to create a single 12 story mixed use building of up to 400 000 square feet south of Burlington Street between Clinton and Dubuque. The project aims to house the University of Iowa School of Music relocation and multiply commercial office and residential space. The plan could extend downtown across Burlington Street and catalyze a denser walkable neighborhood. Swen Larson of 301 Holdings and Kevin Digmann of Hieronymus Square Associates say the project could become the new hub of downtown and spur redevelopment.
