At Maddy D’s Café on West Adams Street, Kealalani Baumann is always serving up something tasty. This year has been a challenge for business owners, but Baumann says things are looking up.

Minneapolis-based Ryan owns the 1.54-acre site at 225 N. Pearl St. Downtown.
Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. is the civil engineer. Ryan A+E Inc. is the architect and interior designer.
The building is designed as 162,741 square feet among seven occupiable floors and the penthouse mechanical level, so it is listed as eight levels.
Ryan broke ground on the project Oct. 22 after beginning site work in August.
In June, the Downtown Development Review Board approved JEA’s scaled-down, lower-cost design for the city-owned utility’s next Downtown headquarters. It now is at 21 W. Church St.
The board approved Ryan’s smaller 162,000-square-foot redesign and adjacent 657-space parking garage.
