First Avenue Awaits Change as Five Seasons Spurs Plans

Carl Esker Roger Stigers and Jim Happel of Byers and Happel Realtors have bought 215 First Ave SE for a 10 to 15 shop project with early tenant interest. Other owners foresee fast food and mall ideas, while parking ramps and a skyway are hinted at as the avenue evolves toward the civic center hub.
