A development proposal for 610 W. Town St. – the current home of Glass Axis – is scheduled to be heard by the East Franklinton Review Board this afternoon.
The proposal, from Marker Development, calls for preserving a portion of the existing one-story, brick building and incorporating it into a new, five-story, mixed-use development.
Glass Axis is planning to relocated to a new space on the South Side – click here to read more about the organization’s plans.
The proposed building would hold between 60 and 70 apartments on its upper four floors, above first floor retail/amenity space and parking. More parking would be provided behind the building, in a surface lot accessed from Chapel Street.
Initial plans and renderings submitted to the city also show three townhomes on Chapel Street. The new buildings are shown without architectural detail – the proposal is scheduled to be reviewed conceptually, meaning that the applicant will need to return to the board with a more detailed design before a final vote of approval.
The proposed development would be located just east of a five-story development at 640 W. Town St. that was recently approved by the board.
Marker Development is currently building two adjacent projects in Weinland Park, and brought a proposal for a seven-story mixed-use development on West Broad Street to the East Franklinton Review Board earlier this year.
The East Franklinton Review Board meets on November 29 at 3 p.m., more information is available here. All renderings by ArchAll Architects.
