The project, located at the northeast corner of Walnut Street and El Molino Avenue, is being developed with a six-story edifice featuring 115 residential units above 14,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
Tyler + Kelly Architecture is designing the project, which will be of a contemporary style with a 250-foot-long pedestrian arcade facing Walnut Street. Plans also call for a rooftop amenity deck.
Prominent Development, the Pasadena-based firm behind the MW Lofts, acquired the project site for $11 million in 2016.
