The owners of Arch could not immediately be reached for comment.

โ€œArch is a group of young, high-energy entrepreneurs,โ€ said Nathan Bernstein, director of commercial real estate with Joseph Property Development. โ€œWeโ€™re really excited because this is a perfect fit for that building and the Third Ward, which is only getting better.โ€

Arch will begin building out the space in August for a late September or early October opening, Bernstein said.
