SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Nebraska real estate development firm has announced redevelop plans for three historic buildings in downtown Sioux City in northwest Iowa. Sioux City television station KTIV reports that J. Development of Omaha, Nebraska, purchased the Commerce Building, the former Hatch Furniture Building, and the former St. Luke’s/Methodist hospital building.

The developer says it plans to convert the buildings into mixed-use and market-rate residential facilities.

Investment for the projects is expected to be $34 million.
