Last fall, Edens filed an application for a planned-unit development (PUD) that would represent the second phase of a two-building project that will deliver over 40,000 square feet of retail below 545-680 residential units to the Union Market neighborhood. Now, a slightly modified design is being proposed for the second building.

The new design by Shalom Baranes is in a darker shade of grey brick and has removed several mullions and transoms from the windows to create larger expanses of glass. Additionally, the façades of and canopies above the ground-floor retail have been modernized with more glass and steel.

The re-designed second building will deliver roughly 134 apartments above two retail spaces totaling 10,750 square feet at 1300 4th Street NE (map), with a unit mix ranging from junior one-bedrooms to two-bedroom plus-dens.

In the context of the larger development, the north parcel building will be constructed on the opposite side of Neal Street after completion of the 432-unit Shapiro Residences at 1270 4th Street NE. Both buildings will share a three-level underground parking garage.

Great Gulf is a partner on the development, and the Zoning Commission will consider the new design in two weeks.
