The $90 million project is expected to include up to 300 multifamily units, ground-floor retail and office space, according to previous CBJ reporting. The bulk of the project — about 270,000 square feet — is expected to be multifamily, with 15,000 square feet of retail and 20,000 square feet of office space.

Collin Brown, of local law firm Alexander Ricks, spoke on behalf of SunCap at a public hearing during Monday’s Charlotte City Council zoning meeting. Brown said the petition changed since it was first filed with the city in March 2022.
