Former Dubuque Bowling Alley To Be Transformed Into Apartments

A developer is proposing a $45.7 million project that would turn the site of a former Dubuque bowling alley into more than 200 apartments. The Dubuque City Council  voted, 6-0, at a special meeting Tuesday to set a public hearing for October 16 on a proposed development agreement with Union at the Marina LP for a project on Hawthorne Street that would feature the construction of 201 affordable apartment units. Council Member Laura Roussell was absent from the meeting. The development would be located on the former Bowling and Beyond site, which now is owned by the city. Under the proposed agreement, the city would sell the property to Union at the Marina LP, a subsidiary of Indiana-based multifamily housing developer The Annex Group.
