Document Description
NOTE: Revised
The proposed project is a mixed-use residential and commercial development that would contain 184 residential rental units, approximately 13,350 square feet of commercial space, which includes an optional approximately 700-square-foot outdoor dining area, at-grade parking, a 2-level subterranean parking garage, and recreation and open space amenities. The six-story building would have a maximum height of 70 feet from adjacent grade to the roof structure, not including the additional height due to architectural features and projections.
The project's residential component consists of 144 one-bedroom units, which includes three live/work lofts and two townhouse-style units, and 40 two-bedroom units. Except for the live/work lofts, residential units would be located on the second through sixth levels of the proposed building. The three live/work units would be located on the ground floor fronting Detroit Street. The floor areas of the units would range from approximately 681 square feet to 1,221 square feet, and the total square footage of the 184 residential units would be approximately 149,913 sf. Twenty percent of the units would be offered as affordable housing.
Construction of the proposed project would involve demolition of all existing structures on the project site, excavation of the subterranean parking garage (3 to 4 months), and construction of the proposed building (24 months). Approximately 48,000 cubic yards of soil would be excavated and exported. Upon obtaining suitable financing, and completion of demolition and excavation, construction could commence in 2010 and be completed in 2012.
