The development will now move to the Plan Commission for its first city approval.ight. Part of that will be a five-story podium that will occupy roughly half of the site, this will include 95 parking spaces, liner units, and be anchored by a small pocket plaza on the ground floor.

The podium itself will be capped by a large amenity deck that includes a pool. Inside of the tower will be 83 units split into 38 percent two-bedrooms, 50 percent three-bedrooms, and 13 percent four-bedroom layouts. While this phase is built, the remaining land will be converted into a fenced grass area and sales center, with the blank podium wall to feature a mural.

The building itself will include setbacks and terraces at the top, while the lower levels will include inset outdoor decks and balconies along the corners. The tower will also feature a gridded red brick facade that utilizes inverted bay windows accented with dark brown spandrels.
