To carry out the plan, the Foundation is teaming with Chase Development to propose a mixed-use development which would include 65-70 high-efficiency modern apart ment units, more than 10,000 square feet of retail space and a 229-car parking garage, 160 of which will be for public use. Chase Development is already active in the immediate area, having just completed the Park 500 Residences a block to the cast, and the North Street city homes just south of the Real Silk Condos.
