Phoenix Park Neighborhood▲

The first building in the Phoenix Park Neighborhood plan was the Luther Midelfort Pharmacy & Home Medical, which opened in August 2008. The second building, a mixed-use development, broke ground in June of 2008 and by June 2009 most of its 33 apartments were rented out to excited tenants.

The third building broke ground on August 13, 2009.  The building, which is still part of the first phase of the overall Phoenix Park Neighborhood plan will be a trhee-story mixed use structure located between The Livery and the new apartment building. It will house 24 apartments, with 16 one-bedroom unites and eight two-bedroom units, with 4,000 square feet of retail space. The retail space can be leased as standalone spaces or as live/work spaces combined with an adjoining apartment.

Pre-leasing for the new apartments will begin in fall and occupancy is scheduled for May 2010. You can request more details at www.phoenixparkneighborhood.com. If you are looking for currently available downtown apartments visit our downtown living page.

Oleson Livery Corner▲

The Oleson Livery corner remodeling started with a new construction between the historic Olson's Livery and the former Craig Chemical Building. The new building now houses Schleppenbach Family Chiropractic.

The former Craig Chemical building was turned into a high-end women's clothing boutique, Isabelle & Co, in October of 2008. In September of 2009 the boutique expanded its space to include men's clothing and home decor.

The 116-year old Oleson Livery has been turned into The Livery (aka Cowtown Saloon) in Spring of 2008. The restaurant offers non-traditional fare such as calamari, mussels, quail, quinoa salad, funnel cakes, and rabbit.

Luther Midelfort Pharmacy & Home Medical▲

Work on the new Luther Midelfort Pharmacy began in early January 2008. The Pharmacy & Home medical had their grand opening on August 18, 2008.

The new pharmacy has a drive-up window, offering easy access for customers. The larger store allows more room to display home medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers and scooters. The mastectomy and compression stocking fitting areas are updated. Private offices are available for customers needing setup with BiPAP and CPAP breathing apparatuses and separate conversation areas increase patient privacy.

The building also houses office of Moeding Partners.
