YIMBY previously reported that the owner received two zoning ordinances in 2018, allowing for residential below the second floor and reducing the rear setback from 30 to 2 feet.

SPACE Architects + Planners is behind the project’s design. No drawings or renderings of the plan have yet been revealed. However given the design context in the neighborhood and similar nearby projects by SPACE, the building will likely incorporate a brick facade.
