Cedar Rapids Gazette: A 28-story high rise is among three building proposals for what the city calls its last city-owned plot marked for post-flood redevelopment in the downtown core. The vacant property, which includes three adjoining parcels now used for parking, is at the northeast corner of First Street S.E. and Third Avenue S.E. Siegel’s Jewelry occupied a now-demolished building there before the 2008 flood and has since moved to 3525 First Ave. S.E. “We received three very strong proposals,” said Jennifer Pratt, Cedar Rapids community development director. “I would say the scale of them is pretty impressive.”
