The developer on the filing is an LLC set up for this property. The latest county filing is dated June 22, 2026. Searches found no news coverage, hearing notices, zoning decisions or developer project page about this address, so there is no public information yet on opposition, approvals or future tenants.

Where it stands
A filing was made with the county on 2026-06-22. No hearing or approval outcome was found online. Typically the city reviews the plans for zoning and building code compliance. If the plans need relief from the zoning rules, a zoning board hearing follows before construction permits are issued.
