Gateway Tower Mixed-Use Development

FILE NOS: H15-047 & HP15-003

The project proposes to remove the existing commercial building and parking lot at 493 South First Street. The commercial building facades for 455 South First Street/460 South Market Street and 465-467 South First Street/470-480 South Market Street would be incorporated into the proposed building with the remainder of the existing buildings removed as part of the proposed redevelopment of the site. The project proposes construction of a 25-story building, with 308 residential apartment units, up to 8,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space, three levels of subgrade parking, and 5 levels of above grade parking. A “bike kitchen” for bicycle parking and maintenance would be accessed from South Market Street. Within the commercial space on South First Street, a permanent interactive historical display would be provided as a part of the retained 465-467 South First Street commercial building façade. This display would occupy up to 175 square feet of the ground floor. A wide sidewalk area provided on the William Street frontage of the site could be used as an outdoor seating area.

UPDATE H24-034: The project consists of a Site Development Permit to allow the construction of a 15-story building with up to 220 affordable residential units, 3,760 square feet of ground floor commercial space, and 5 levels of above grade parking. The commercial building facades for 455 South First Street/460 South Market Street and 465-467 South First Street/470-480 South Market Street would be incorporated into the proposed building while the remainder of the existing buildings would be removed. A permanent interactive historical display would be provided as a part of the retained 465-467 South First Street commercial building façades.
