A group called Good Arts LLC said it has completed the purchase of the Scheuerman Building at 110 Cherry St. in Pioneer Square, and plans to start construction late next year on Cherry Street Public House at the corner and two adjacent storefronts.

The goal is to preserve space for artists and arts-related businesses in Pioneer Square.

The 24,406-square-foot office and retail building was constructed in 1890. Good Arts LLC said in September that the sale price is $4.7 million.

The partners in Good Arts are Greg Smith of Urban Visions, Jane Richlovsky of ‘57 Biscayne, Steve Coulter of ACT Theatre and Ali Ghambari, who operates Cherry Street Coffee House.

Good Arts LLC is named after a cafeteria called Good Eats that occupied the Scheuerman Building a century ago.

The new owners say they want to have street-level art galleries and pocket retail space for artists. Eventually they will add more artist studios and restore a performance space in the basement.

The second floor will be kept as affordable workspace for artists. Additional workspaces will be created elsewhere in the building as they become available.

Richlovsky was one of the artists who was relocated from the 619 Western Building in 2011 as part of preparing that structure for digging the viaduct replacement tunnel.
