  • 231 apartment building
  • 73% studios at 500 square feet or one bedroom units ranging from 625-925 square feet
  • 22% will be two bedrooms at 1,100 square feet, and five percent will be two bedrooms plus a den
  • 20,000 square feet of commercial space
  • Approximately 350 parking spaces in a structure

The hearing on July 14 at 10:05 a.m. is for the “Brownfield Plan,” which is usually tied to TIF or Tax Increment Financing to reimburse the costs of bringing parcels of property back to functional use.
