It’s been more than five years since the devastating Christmas Eve fire destroyed the popular Cedar Park bar & restaurant Elena’s Soul and damaged the adjacent diner and hair salon. After the fire and demolition, the empty lot at 4912 Baltimore was temporarily used by Greensgrow West (in 2014-2016), and now we noticed a new building coming up. We reached out to the property owner, local businessman Algernong Allen, for more information. 

The three-story building will have five residential units and a commercial space, according to Allen. He’s partnering with Diversified Realty Ventures, who developed the four-story mixed-use building at 4812 Baltimore, and CVA Commercial.

The building includes three two-bedroom units and two one-bedroom units and a roof deck.

The lease on the commercial tenant hasn’t been finalized yet.
