When YIMBY last visited the site in December, only the structure’s steel-framed ground level has been assembled. By now, the wood-framed structure above has risen and its form definitively resembles the rendering, down to the top-level setback and slanted balconies.

The development rises in the western section of Chinatown, which is also known as the Convention Center District due to its location immediately north of the latter. The area features an abundance of parking lots, which, combined with the central location and transit adjacency, promises to become a lucrative development hot spot. The same developer-architect-contractor team is currently working on another development at 245 North 12th Street on the same block. In addition, Parkway Corporation intends to develop a series of parking lots situated next door to the north and east, which may house a much larger structure.
