Local developer Mark Roemer created downtown “loft” housing opportunities on 5th Avenue. In 2011, he purchased the former Phillips Mini Mart Building and completed this historic renovation into 18 market rate apartments with retail space on the first floor.
In 2020 in the middle of the global pandemic, Meli’s Pancake House opened on the first floor and has been a hit for downtown diners looking for breakfast comfort food.
