Title
Presentation from Rebound Real Estate Providing an Update on the Archer Redevelopment Project - 212 Division St. S.
Body
Action Requested:
The Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) will receive an update from the developer, Rebound Real Estate, on the Archer redevelopment project located at 212 Division St. S.
Summary Report:
The Archer House, a historic hotel and multi-use building, was severely damaged by a fire in 2020. Following the demolition of the building in 2021, the HPC approved a COA for a new building in December of 2023.
In November of 2025, the developer announced that the redevelopment plans were not financially viable at that time. Rebound Real Estate is beginning the development of a new proposal for the site that addresses some of these financial constraints. They would like to engage the HPC early in the process. They will be discussing their proposed timeline and next steps. Visuals and/or renderings are not available at this time.
