The Rochester, Minn., City Council has approved initial plans for The Buckeye, a six-story, 92-unit apartment complex at the site of a decades-old liquor store.

A new plan has emerged to build a 225-room Holiday Inn and Suites hotel at Second Street and 13th Avenue Southwest, across from Mayo Clinic's Francis Building.

A Sioux Falls, S.D., developer purchased the Pioneer Press headquarters building for $3.5 million and plans to redevelop it into 150 to 168 apartments.
