The plans, pre-filed on March 1, 2019, call for the construction of a 110-foot tall, nine-story hotel building with retail space.

The project is described in the filings as: new mixed-use building as shown on plans filed herewith.

The cellar and ground floor of the building will be used for retail space, according to the plans. The ground floor will also have a cafe. The second and third floors will be used for office space, 11,000 square feet of which will be leased by Compass. Floors four through nine will each have 12 hotel rooms. The second floor and roof will both have outdoor terraces.

The hotel rooms will be an average of 583 square feet each, given the 72 units and approximately 42,000 square feet of total zoning hotel space on floors four through nine.

The building is being designed by KSQ Architects.
