The project will have 80 apartments for veterans on the upper floors and 14,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor, which could include a café. The building will have an exterior dining area for the café and an attached bus shelter. There will also be a 56-space surface parking lot behind the building. The project will be reviewed by the City Plan Commission on Monday, Dec. 8.
