The Duluth Economic Development Authority approved a development agreement Wednesday evening that could lead to the razing of the Esmond Building, formerly known as the Seaway Hotel, and the raising of a new apartment building in its place.
Merge LLC — an offshoot of Merge Urban Development of Cedar Falls, Iowa — proposes to construct up to a 45-unit apartment building at the southwest corner of Superior Street and 20th Avenue West in Duluth's Lincoln Park neighborhood at a estimated cost of about $9.25 million. In addition to housing, the building would offer about 8,500 square feet of commercial space at the ground level. Merge refers to the development as the Urbane Duluth project.
