The Project Site is currently designated for Commercial Manufacturing land uses and is zoned C4-1XL and CM-1VL.

The northern three lots (Lots 18-20) are developed with two, two-story commercial-office buildings and will remain on the project site. The Project will consist of 61,000 square feet of creative office space and 500 square feet of retail space. With the addition of the existing floor area that will remain on Lots 18-20, the Project will have a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.74 to 1. The Project will provide a total of 151 automobile parking spaces located within ground floor and two subterranean levels. In addition, the Project will provide a total of 24 bicycle parking spaces.
