In 2017, Legendary Group submitted an application seeking approvals to build an 11-story, 255,000-square-foot office building at the intersection of 4th and Hewitt Streets, while retaining a single-story structure that was then occupied by the A+D Museum.

Under the new proposal, a revised plan reveals the original concept, but on a grander scale. Now, the project will be an 18-story tower, while still maintaining the existing 7,800-foot building that now exists on the property. Plans call for a total of 311,682 square feet of offices on the upper floors of the building, with 8,149 square feet of restaurant space at the ground floor. A landscaped courtyard fronting Colyton Street is a new addition.

Just like the earlier project, the office tower will be rise above a large parking podium. A parking garage with three subterranean levels and five above-grade levels will be developed on the site.

Named Above, the renderings reveal a high-rise towering a height of 297 feet above street level. The building’s parking levels showcase an industrial aesthetic, while its upper floors have a contemporary glass facade. Terrace decks with tenant amenity spaces are planned at the top floor, and above the podium.
