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

“Arch is a group of young, high-energy entrepreneurs,” said Nathan Bernstein, director of commercial real estate with Joseph Property Development. “We’re really excited because this is a perfect fit for that building and the Third Ward, which is only getting better.”

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