Hieronymous Square

Last week I posted that the University of Iowa was looking to build a new school of music and recital hall in downtown Iowa City and that it would be part of a new condominium project.  However, I missed the connection that this project was the Hieronymus Square project that has been discussed on-and-off since the late 80's.  With the announcement that the university was seeking to rebuild the school of music downtown, it appears a perfect storm may finally turn this project into a reality.

The latest iteration is a 12-story mixed-use building on the corner of Burlington and Clinton Streets, just south of campus and the pedestrian mall.  The school of music would utilize four of the floors.  Likely there would be some retail at ground level.

This is definitely some exciting news for Iowa City.  I will update as this project progresses.
