Pierre Lisk arrived in Iola a few months back in order to renovate and rent out apartments in town. He may have found a place to call home in the process. A mechanical engineer by trade, Lisk through the years had begun looking at real estate investments — apartment complexes, in particular. Pierre Lisk has renovated the old Head Start building at the intersection of Sycamore and Broadway streets into a six-unit apartment complex. On top of the Head Start building, which is already at 100% occupancy (including one Airbnb rental), he acquired the Jones Jewelry building on the courthouse square, and the Bolling’s Meat Market building at the intersection of Madison and State streets.
