The Project would develop 466 residential units within a new 53-story high-rise tower located on the southern half of the Project Site within and above the existing nine-story parking/retail podium building. The existing hotel and commercial uses on the Project Site, would be retained, with the exception of approximately 24,342 square feet of existing commercial (theater and retail) uses in the podium building that would be changed to residential uses (including a new residential lobby). No changes are proposed to the existing 7th Street/Metro Central rail station portal. The residential uses would be located primarily within the new tower with a small portion of residential square footage, such as bicycle parking areas and other residential services (e.g., residential mail, package and utility rooms), located in the parking/retail podium building. As part of the Project, the rooftop parking level of the existing nine-story parking/retail podium building would be enclosed, and two additional levels of parking would be added, increasing the podium to 12 stories. The residential uses would comprise a total of approximately 495,016 square feet of floor area, consisting of the conversion of the approximately 24,342 square feet of existing commercial (theater and retail) uses within the existing parking/retail podium building and the net increase of 470,674 square feet in the new 53-story tower, which will extend 41-stories above the 12-story podium. The two existing basement levels, which include one level of vehicle parking and one level of loading areas below the podium building would be retained. Upon completion of the Project, the Project Site would include a total of 1,894,988 square feet of floor area with a floor area ratio of 10.15:1. Upon completion of the Project, the Project Site would include a total of 1,948 vehicular parking spaces located within eight above ground parking levels and one basement parking level. The Project would also add 214 bicycle parking spaces (192 long-term and 22 short-term) within the Project Site. The Project also includes a request for a Sign District for the Project Site.
