The $54.3 million 2020 renovation at 111 W. Division Street consisted of 148 apartments, each equipped with rehabilitated private bathrooms and the addition of private kitchenettes. Other enhancements included all new plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems; a rooftop deck, restoration of the vintage facade
and lobby and 9,600 square feet of upgraded retail space on the ground floor.

Designed by architect Harry Glube, the five-story Art Deco building features beige brick and white terra cotta accents. The rehab work was conducted by architect Weese Langley Weese and contractor LinnMathes. The building opened as a rooming hotel in the 1930s, with rates as low as seven dollars per
week. It had been operated continuously as an SRO since the 1980s.
