The Block5 development, a mixed-use development, is constructed, built, listed and managed by Lloyd. The site will consist of a Hyatt Place hotel, more than 131 lofts and retail space on the first floor designed to transform part of downtown Rapid City.
Block 5 helps fulfill a broader vision for downtown Rapid City and the community as a whole, said Tom Johnson, president and CEO for Elevate Rapid City.
“The community identified how we needed a mixed-use plan that accommodates retail, as well as a high-end business travel-oriented hotel and downtown living,” he said. “This just hits all three out of the park and is going to contribute to bringing Rapid City into a new era where downtown is a place to live, a place for business travelers and a bigger part of a thriving community.”
Located along St. Joseph Street between Fifth and Sixth streets, Block 5 Lofts will bring much-needed urban living opportunities to the community along with a 117-room Hyatt Place that will include a ballroom and meeting space.
Additionally, Block 5 will offer more than 7,746 square feet of first-floor retail space and include 330 parking spaces.
“We believe this is the right development at the right time for downtown Rapid City,” said Jake Quasney, Lloyd’s COO. “The combination of business activity, housing demand and visitor industry resurgence makes us very excited to deliver this project.”
