The above site plan shows the proposed three tower developments abutting an on-site diagonal road which leads to the proposed one acre public park located at the upper right corner of the project site. To the north of the proposed three tower site, there are existing office buildings, as well as, to the south of the site. The existing office buildings range from 1 to 15 stories tall. Some of the existing surface parking would be reused for retail uses and for the proposed public park.
The current uses at the site of the proposed three towers are existing surface parking and landscaping which is proposed to be demolished. The developer proposes to construct a new parking structure located at the lower right portion of the project site to replace the displaced parking.
The following table shows the breakdown of the units by building and by type along with the square footage:
