The new construction will yield 1,300 square feet of retail space and 343 apartments, including studios and two-bedroom units, some with private balconies. Amenities include a pool deck, spa, fitness and recreation rooms, a conference center, and a fifth-level pet walk area. Parking facilities will encompass a 123-vehicle garage, specific bicycle storage, and 185 ground-level bicycle spaces.

The high-rise will stand out from the surrounding office towers with its hexagonal footprint and varied cladding materials. Solomon Cordwell Buenz’s design incorporates floor-to-ceiling windows, bronze metal cladding, brick, and other metallic finishes. The new structure will pay homage to the demolished Cassidy Tire Building, incorporating some of the preserved bricks into the interior.

  1. Honestly a top 5 building UC in the city right now for residential.

    • Definitely agree. Parking is a little on the high side for being practically in/near downtown, but overall its a nice design for the area!

  2. Not enough parking spots for all the Hyundia’s and Kia’s in the city.
