Kmart development project

The old Kmart in La Crosse has, perhaps, never been more popular today than when it first opened back in 1965. The buzz now, though, is when will it get demolished? 

Jeremy Novak, vice president of development at Three Sixty Real Estate Solutions, joined WIZM's La Crosse Talk on Tuesday to give an update on the long-delayed redevelopment project, renamed Copper Rocks.

Novak explains why construction hasn’t begun, since the 18-month extension granted by the city council, which expired June 30.

During that time, Novak notes that Three Sixty received a $250,000 grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) and began working on a TIF application — though the project will now need to go through rezoning again.

Back in January of 2022, Novak told WIZM demolition of the old Kmart was set for that summer. Tuesday, he again detailed the hurdles that have delayed the project. That was a similar timeline that Three Sixty owner Marvin Wanders told WIZM in May of 2021.

Before diving into the Kmart site, we touched on several other developments Three Sixty has underway in La Crosse — including the C&C Residences by the new Mayo hospital, the 48-unit Badger-West studio apartment complex near UW-La Crosse, and the mixed-use project at 7 Copeland Avenue in the River Point District.
