Construction is underway for the five-story, 36-unit residential development by 4Corners Real Estate at 801 South Western Avenue in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood. Developer and general contractor 4Corners Real Estate got a permit to begin building on February 8th, then posted on LinkedIn in early April that they had begun work.

Kennedy Mann is the architect of record for the project, which replaces a former used car lot on the southeast corner of the intersection of Western Avenue and Polk Street. Units will include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans. The residential entrance will be located on Polk Street, while a first-floor bicycle storage room with one storage slot per residence will be accessed from the southwest corner of the building, along Western Avenue. Outdoor parking for 18 cars will be located directly behind that storage room, accessed from the north-south alley off Polk.
