The Emery (formerly Sherwin Williams Mixed Use Project)

The 10.05 acre project site is divided into five development parcels that accommodates 500 rental residential units in four new buildings; 74,000 square feet of office space within the existing "Building 1-31" (former Sherwin-Williams office building); a minimum of 2,000 square feet and a maximum of 8,000 square feet of ground floor retail/restaurant space; a 2,000 square foot community gallery (known as “4509 Gallery”) and meeting room space; and associated structured parking. The project created approximately 3.53 acres of public park/open space area (“Huchiun Park”) and two new streets: Hubbard Street extension and 46th Street.

Final Development Plan (FDP) are detailed plans that outline specific design, layout and use that is specified and consistent with the approved Planned Unit Development/Preliminary Development (PUD/PDP).

For this project the Planning Commission approved three FDPs: one for the new buildings (Building B-1; Building B-2, Building C; and Building D); one for reuse of existing Building (Building 1-31); and one for public park and open space.
