Deadline extended for Cedar Rapids Smulekoff's redevelopment
Local developer Steve Emerson and the city of Cedar Rapids extend the deadline to December 15 to finalize the redevelopment of the former Smulekoff's Home Store building at 97 Third Ave SE. The project envisions offices and residences on upper floors with an events center on the first floor and indoor parking next door. The city bought the property through a flood recovery buyout for 4.7 million dollars and will retain some riverfront space for a pedestrian promenade as part of flood control. Emerson will pay current fair market value.
