Officials lay out process for Chauncey development

City staff members plan to move forward with negotiations with Steve Rohrbach and Marc Moen to develop the Chauncey at the intersection of College and Gilbert Streets, according to a city memorandum released Thursday.

City officials expect a development agreement to go before the Iowa City City Council in two to three months.

The next steps include negotiating a development agreement with Rohrbach, rezoning the property, and preparing the final design and construction plans.

The Chauncey proposal includes residential and office space as well as entertainment venues, with a focus on the latter. The 20-story building would also include two FilmScene theaters.

The City Council selected the Chauncey as its preferred development for the site on Jan. 8.
