The project includes studios to three-bedrooms, ground-floor retail, and two levels of parking — a scaled-back version of a previously shelved 12-story proposal. While preservation efforts for the bar’s Prohibition-era legacy have failed due to structural decay, the developer sees new residents as a boon for local commerce. Plans are set to formally submit to city officials, with groundbreaking slated for spring 2025 and completion by 2029. The team is also collaborating with city planners to enhance pedestrian access and public transit, building on past precedents that tied approvals to neighborhood improvements.
