Located on the same block as 167 N Green Street, the parcel was originally meant to house a seven-story office and retail building designed by Eckenhoff Saunders Architects. BLVD’s patio would have been a temporary arrangement prior to the building’s construction. However, an issued permit from earlier this past January describes the project as permanent, suggesting that the building’s plans have been tabled.

The firm Aria Group Architects, which specializes in restaurants, hotels, and entertainment complexes, has overseen the design of the venue. The latest revealed layout shows rows of dining tables for four and six people, a bar, a fireplace, various alcoves at the north end of the parcel, in-ground plantings, as well as storage space at the south end along the alley. As seen in most recent photos, the majority of the lot is capped in an open-air wooden enclosure.
