The Start of a Tower Crane on 16th Street Downtown

July 19, 2025

The base of a future tower crane is now in place downtown along the east side of 16th Street between Douglas and Farnam streets. The site was once home to the old Park Fair Mall. Crews demolished the former mall earlier this year to make way for a 12-story building that will include seven levels of parking (open to the public) and five multi-family floors with 150 apartments. The building will also have 12,500 sq. ft. of street-level retail space and will feature a rooftop swimming pool.

The building will be attached to the old Central Park Plaza twin towers. Altogether, the three buildings form “The Duo,” a massive project by NuStyle Development. Each of the twin towers will also have retail space on 15th Street. Sullivan’s Steakhouse will continue to operate in the south tower. The former Starbucks space in the north tower will house The Mill Coffee & Tea, which will open in early 2027.
