The project is located just north of the Canadian National railroad tracks and east of Calumet, behind Martinis.

Craig Phillips, city planner, said he isn't sure what used to be there but believes an ice company used to be located just south of the property that Katz is building on.

The area has been vacant, except for a few empty buildings, since Phillips has been with the city, he said.
