About Building 3 of the 1st Street Development

Building 3 is a five-story office and residential condominium building, which will house Sterling Bank offices. Plans call for a bilevel riverwalk to be located along the building and the river.

“Work at the 1st Street site is progressing at a steady pace,” said Community and Economic Development Director Rita Tungare. “Building 3 is on schedule to be completed late summer 2018. Adjacent at Building 1, the street level businesses, Kilwins Chocolates, Brunch Café and Vintage 53 are all open. And the buildout continues on the upper floors of Building 1, which will house ALE Solutions. It’s great to see all the hard work and planning come to fruition.”
