Now, foundation work is nearly complete, The Court Square Blog reports, which means the structure can begin rising above street level. The new building, dubbed Steel Haus, will encompass 43,808 square feet upon completion. Its residential units, which will be rental apartments, should average 800 square feet apiece.

The Hakimian Organization is the developer, with ARC Architecture + Design Studio serving as the architect. David Howell Design is in charge of designing the interiors.
