Already on the site is the Kassenborg Block building, which may either be renovated or demolished, depending on which proposal is selected. All three slate the 130-year-old Douglas House at 111 4th St. S. for demolition, despite historic interest in the building.

Sherman Associates of Minneapolis has proposed an $18-million plan that includes a 15,000-sf to 20,000-sf art center and a sculpture garden, with 56 condominium units on the south side and a 9,600 sf retail space combined with 20 apartment units.

Roers Development, MetroPlains Development, Atelier Heamavihio and JLG Architects of St. Paul and Fargo propose a $14.5-million project calling for 17,700 sf of retail space and 96 housing units. The Kassenborg Block building would be renovated and used as a bank and loft building.

In the third proposal, Fargo's Sterling Co. proposes a $16-million retail and housing plan with 18,750 sf of retail space and 108 condo and apartment units, including a three-story apartment building and a renovated Kassenborg Block building.

Developers will present their proposals to residents for comments at a public meeting Feb. 19.
