FARGO — The Mercantile is ready to do business.

Since it opened April 1, 60% of the six-story building’s 100 apartments have been leased.

There is also 17,000 square feet of first floor commercial or restaurant space fronting Broadway and Fourth Avenue North available for fitup.

Keith Leier, vice president of development and construction for Kilbourne Group, says his company and its partners have turned an underused corner into an impressive addition to Fargo’s downtown.

“It’s a pretty prominent corner and it was basically a parking lot,” Leier said during a Tuesday, April 19, tour of the building. Now, “it’s the first apartment building built on Broadway in 75 years.” Full story at inforum.com.
