The project, which replaced two 19th century houses at 418-430 N. Firmin Street, will eventually consist of a seven-story building featuring 45 units of permanent supportive housing and 19 apartments for low-income households. Plans call for a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom dwellings in addition to a 10-car garage.
Dahlin Group is designing the Firmin Court, which is depicted in a rendering as a Spanish Colonial Revival style building.
The approximately $38.5-million development is a joint venture between Decro Corp. and Innovative Housing Opportunities.
