The project, to be built in phases, will comprise 341 apartments, 13,300 square feet of retail space and 6,600 square feet of office space, with the first part expected to be completed in the summer of 2016. In exchange for $4.49 million in incentives over the next 10 years, the developer will build the apartments to a special green building certification and provide three electric vehicle charger stations as well as include office space. The money will come from tax revenue created from the construction.
