The development will house the restaurant’s second location on the first two levels. The third floor will be occupied by a three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit as well as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit. The fourth floor, meanwhile, will house a single penthouse residence with four bedrooms and three baths. While Alderman Tom Tunney’s website mentions the project including three parking spaces, construction permits indicated that there would be four total spaces on exterior concrete parking pads.
