A 32-story apartment building would rise in place of a surface parking lot in Little Italy, if City Council members pass legislation that would change zoning to permit a structure that tall.
The proposed development site is a parking lot on the east side of South President Street between Fawn Street and Eastern Avenue, just north of the 24-story, 400-unit Avalon 555 President apartment building.
With an anticipated construction cost of more than $200 million, the building would be one of the tallest in the city, with unobstructed views westward toward the Inner Harbor and downtown skyline and eastward toward Highlandtown and Canton. Preliminary plans call for 276 apartments with street-level commercial space and some on-site parking.
