The building, which would have a footprint of over 4,000 square feet, would include the following:

* First floor: Approximately 500 square feet of retail space and 9 parking spaces
* Second floor: 3,795 square feet of office space
* Third and fourth floors: 4 apartment units

The meeting, which is open to the public, takes place at 7 PM at the Social Hall of the Knox Presbyterian Church, on the corner of Michigan and Observatory avenues.
