Door to Door Realty is in contract to purchase the vacant two-story, nearly 42,400 square-foot building at 78 Fort Place, in St. George, and plans to renovate the building into roughly 30 market-rate rental units. The developer expects to close on the property later this year, according to DNAinfo, with leasing beginning by late 2016. A hearing with community groups is scheduled in September. Previous plans were approved for a residential facility for the mentally ill.
