Demolition of the Marion Square Plaza is now underway as developers prepare to begin construction of Broad & Main, a $25M redevelopment project in the heart of Uptown Marion. In January, Cedar Falls based Eagle View Partners announced the project that will bring residential density and new commercial vibrancy to the Uptown District.
Broad & Main on 7th will be constructed first along 7th Avenue. This three story mixed-use property will provide two large commercial bays with several micro retail storefronts on the first floor. The property’s second and third floors are primarily dedicated to 39 market rate residential units. The second project, Broad & Main on 6th, will be built to face the new Marion Public Library and feature 42 units in a mix of 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom units, plus high-demand amenities shared between the properties, including an outdoor dog run, indoor/outdoor lounge, fitness center, secure bike storage room, and secure parcel technology.
Construction is happening together with a complete reconstruction of 7th Avenue beginning this Spring. The project is expected to be complete in Fall 2022.
