St. Joseph City Commissioners have given a major boost to the Marquette on Lake Boulevard residential and commercial development being planned downtown. Commissioners on Monday approved a development agreement for the project to complete the city’s sale of the property at Broad Street and Lake Boulevard to developer the Rienks Group. The commission last year approved a sales agreement for the site, but this lays out the requirements the Rienks Group must follow to close the sale. Among other things, the development agreement gives Reinks four months after closing to obtain permits, six months to begin construction, and 18 months to complete major exterior improvements. We asked Peter Rienks of the Rienks Group if they’re ready to go.
