Basim Sabri is proposing a pretty big expansion of the Karmel mall complex. The two-story Karmel Square building midblock on Pleasant and the Walgreens on Lake would be demolished, to make way for an eight-story building containing a grocery store on the ground floor, office space on floors two and three, and 113 apartments on the five floors above. Additionally, the first and fourth floors of the existing parking ramp would be converted into additional retail space to replace the space lost in the existing Karmel Square building. Unfortunately, the attachment portion of the packet wasn't posted, so there's no floorplans or renderings, but it sounds like the tallest portion of the building would face Lake St and step down towards the Greenway.

Sounds like they upped the size from when this first came out in feb. I think that Walgreens never re opened so there should be little in the way of this breaking ground. Lake st needs all of the positive momentum it can get. I had assume this was dead due to covid. Assuming the design is similar Im glad its not another box but rather has some slight character.
Over all sounds like a great plan for this part of lake street!
