Well, that was quick.
The land bank, in concert with a local a architecture firm, builder, and environmental engineering firm has already come up with a concept for the recently cleared Deluxe Inn site.
The $30 million plan calls for seven-story apartment/condo building fronting Washington and a four-story residential/commercial-retail/parking building. In all, it has 153,000 sq ft of residential space (132 units), 32,000 sq ft of retail/commercial, and 480 parking spots of which some will be on the ground floor and some underground (not sure how this is worked out exactly saved for all the parking is hidden from outside eyes).
Two interesting things about the project include...
- a 20-foot deck extending over the riverfront, cantilevered 30 feet above the water by a four-story cabled tower.
- The seven-story tower has multi-story banners on running vertically up the building that'd be see-through from inside the building, and could be alternated out. They are art features, so they wanted be turned into add space.
