HISTORIC FOURTH HOUSING

One of the oldest structures in Sioux City is seeing new life. Constructed in 1890, the four-story Bay State Building is an important part of the Historic Fourth Street District—our community’s best and highest concentration of late 19th century commercial properties.

Bay State Building’s first floor houses Beer Can Alley Sioux City and Rebos, but upper stories have remained vacant…until now. Owners Larry and Vickie Perera of Lavi Bay Developments, Inc. are creating 27 market-rate apartments in this space. Representing a capital investment of $11.3 million, and supported by nearly $3.5 million in state tax credit program funding, the project should be complete by Spring 2025.
