Developer, Mill Creek Residential, proposes 276 residential units where 13 units would be set aside for Very Low Income households and is five-percent of the total number of units proposed. Additionally, ground floor neighborhood serving retail and restaurant space totaling about 24,000 square feet is proposed. An alternative ground floor use in lieu of the aforementioned retail/restaurant space is a approximately 27,000 square foot grocery store. Parking minimum varies depending on the type of ground floor use as the first alternative would require a minimum of 364 vehicle parking spaces and the latter, a minimum of 370 vehicle parking spaces. 

Proposed residential amenities include:

• Ground floor: a lobby/lounge, clubhouse, and outdoor patio 
• Second floor: a pool, courtyard, second clubhouse, and landscaped rear and side yard setback areas
• Most of the residential units will have a private balcony

The mixed-use project entails a seven-story building (max height is 85 feet) where the upper six floors comprise the residential units and the ground floor includes a mezzanine. Vehicle parking would be provided with four below-grade levels. ​
