. . . located at the corner of Polk and Olive Street, would create new retail space and housing with affordable units. RG Architecture is managing the building design.

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.

. . . 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.

An estimated timeline for construction has not yet been announced.

I am really pleased by the possibility of this building. I do a lot of shopping on Polk--my nearest "corner" markets and veggie stands--and this short stretch is about its sleaziest because there isn't current much on this block except auto repair so the homeless tend to congregate. Love to see middle class folks move in.
