A total of sixty apartments will be created, all of which will be studio-sized. According to the preliminary project assessment application, the developer has not decided if units will be sold as rentals or for ownership.

The proposed building would rise 137 feet high to yield 43,150 square feet, of which 1,710 square feet will be usable open space, and 1,000 square feet for ground-level retail. Parking will be included for sixty bicycles.

RG Architecture is responsible for the design. The contemporary building will rise to the area’s height limit, overshadowed by several larger buildings in the area. The southern facade is wrapped with curtainwall and randomized decorative louvers, likely clearly hiding HVAC systems. The rest of the building will be clad with solid white panels.

  1. This looks like this era’s SRO hotel but skipping the hotel stage and going directly to single occupancy. Not bad.

  2. Are those folded Murphy beds? Where does one sleep?
