PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In 1888, on the southwest corner of 8th and “O” streets in Lincoln’s historic Haymarket District, a wholesale grocer, Hargreaves Bros. Company, moved into its new home. Then in 1917, the building became home to the Schwarz Paper Company where they operated in the space until 2015. The 130-year-old, 4-story, renovated space now houses 13 luxury condominiums and over 5,000 square feet of office space. The custom-built living spaces vary from 750 to 1,800 square feet with views of the downtown activity.
