The project is described in the filing as: file for zoning review only, for new five-story condominium building, all associated jobs will be subsequently filed under this application.

According to the plans, the ground floor of the building will have a museum and 16 dwelling units. Floors two through five will each have 21 dwelling units per floor.

The estimated job cost is $9.7 million.

The property was acquired for $5.8 million on November 30, 2009.
