View fullsize

The details are here for a project announced last year by Jim Graves, CEO of Graves Hospitality and founder of AmericInn. We're talking about 3041 Holmes Avenue, a new mixed-use project near the heart of Uptown.

A few minor changes have occurred since designs were last shown for the project this past summer. To the naked eye it pretty much looks the same... and that's because it essentially is. What has been decided is what the project will include regarding its residential units. Ladies and Gentlemen, they'll be luxury condominium units.

Ground Floor | Planning Commission

The six story project will include nine dwelling units that will be available for purchase. While original plans for the project included a restaurant and bar on the first floor, the most recent plans have shrunk that down leaving a 1,000 square foot retail space at the corner of 31st Street West and Holmes Avenue South.

Residents within the building will have access to amenities such as a bike repair and maintenance space, fitness room, and library. The ground floor will also include parking area with 18 stalls that will be accessible from Holmes Avenue S and completely screened along with three individual garages on the alley side.

Residential units will number two per floor except the sixth floor which will feature a single penthouse unit. Each unit will include an outdoor patio and/or a deck space and of course a high quality, fully customizable, luxury interior. Overall the building will be a nice addition to Uptown featuring quality materials including stone with granite accents, cast stone and metal.

Developers are requesting a variance for lot coverage as the maximum allowed is 70 percent and the project occupies 84.8 percent according to documents submitted to the city planning commission. Collage Architects is responsible for the design of the project.

If approved, construction could begin as soon as early Summer.
