MASON DOCKTER Business Journal staff writer SIOUX CITY – The end is in sight for the multimillion-dollar renovation of the old Commerce Building in downtown Sioux City. Omaha-based J Development has spent the past several years developing the brick structure, at 520 Nebraska St., into 71 apartments and roughly 12,000 square feet of commercial space. The apartments are called the Bluebird Flats, a name that came from Bluebird Re- cords, a record label that signed Louis Arm- strong. Armstrong played in the building’s fifth-floor ballroom decades ago. Julie Stavneak, a co-owner of J Develop- ment, said Thursday that the building’s interior should be done by the end of October, while the exterior work should, hopefully, be finished by the end of this year. Fifteen leases have already been signed and 10 tenants have moved in. The develop- ers have received a certificate of occupancy for floors two, three and four, and are ex- pecting to receive certificates for floors one and five in a few weeks. J Development planted its flag in the old Commerce Building in 2017. The nearly three years of planning and renovations were unusual for a project of its size – 18 to 24 months would be closer to the norm.

Pier Center officials had originally hoped to move into the building by the end of this year, but the project was delayed by COVID-19, and further pandemic-related delays are still possible. Plans for the $1.5 million facility were announced last fall. Founded in 2012, the Pier Center, 709 Iowa St., is the only clinic of its kind in the region, offering a variety of services and therapies for individuals with autism as well as programs and training to help parents and families. At present the Pier Center, operated by Mid-Step Services, is housed in a former convent.
