Details have been revealed for a mixed-use development at 801 S Western Avenue in Tri-Taylor.

Rising five-stories and 61-feet in height, the L-shaped project will sit on the corner with a large 2,915 square-foot retail space with an inset entrance along Western. This will be joined by a small entry lobby and 36-bicycle parking room with direct access to Western as well. In the rear will be 18-vehicle parking spaces, some of which will be covered by the building above, and ready for future electric charging stations.
