The CRA purchased the Property in April 2008. The Property is zoned Central Business District; the west side of the Property is vacant, while the east side is a seven (7) space public parking lot that was constructed in 2010.

To encourage economic development and activation along the Northwest & Southwest 5th Avenue commercial corridor, as called for by the CRA Redevelopment Plan, the CRA engaged with Song and Associates, Inc.(“Song”) in November 2018 for professional architectural and engineering consulting services to prepare design and construction drawings to develop a commercial building geared towards the purpose of providing affordable commercial rental space.
