The 17,500-square-foot building will have two stories, the second to be occupied by Stroemer and Company. The first floor will be available for lease.

Groundbreaking on the project is expected to take place in early December, and construction is expected to be complete by July 2008.

Harold Morgan will serve as senior project manager. Kyle Kitchens provided architectural design services.
