Reviving the Legacy
Constructed in Ottumwa’s bustling Downtown Business District in 1917, the historic Hotel Ottumwa is set for an exciting transformation! This iconic landmark is scheduled for an $18.5 million makeover, to kick off in the latter half of 2024. The project promises to revitalize 68 stylish rental units, ranging from sleek studios to spacious one and two-bedroom apartments. But that’s not all – the redevelopment plan respects the building’s heritage, ensuring the preservation of its charming commercial spaces and the majestic second-floor ballroom.
