By the looks of this real estate listing, there’s a new development in the works for Neil Street and Columbia on the north side of Downtown Champaign.
Check out the information from the listing:
520 N Neil St
Champaign, IL 61820520 Neil will be a mix of retail, office and residential uses at the corner of Neil and Columbia Streets on the northern edge of Downtown Champaign. 520 Neil will serve as a gateway into the popular Downtown Champaign area known for its live, work and play environment. The new 5 story building will be modern and upscale in appearance and include first floor retail, floors 2- 4 will be residential and floor 5 will be a mix of office and residential. A rooftop deck will be available for residents and office tenants use.
So, it looks like apartments for the most part — with a mixture of commercial and retail space in the bottom. This development would sit close to Koh-i-noor and Columbia Street Roastery.
I couldn’t help but think about this April Fool’s joke from a few years ago with the Quarters, as it sits right next to it.
