The mixed-use building will encompass 210,000 square feet, including 7,700 square feet of ground floor retail. The building will also include an underground parking garage with 211 parking spots. A pedestrian pass-through with an art concept is also planned for the south side of the building to connect Fairmont and St. Elmo Avenues. Demolition of older buildings and underground work began in August 2011.
Montgomery County Parking Lot 31
