DULUTH, MN-The school district here is looking to unload some of its real estate putting up three properties up for sale with a fourth to add to the block this summer. Among the potential buyers scouring the properties are several multifamily rental developers, including Minneapolis-based Sherman & Associates.

Sherman employees are among those touring the old Central High School, now the central administration building. Bruce Wyman, executive director of the Hillside Business Association, arranged the tour. Preservationists affiliated with the school district’s long-range citizens’ planning committee want the building to remain in school district control.

Another property is the Armory building on London Road, which one developer want to convert into upscale housing. No additional details will be released before Wednesday’s school board meeting, he says.
