The two levels of below-grade parking garage will have 200 spaces, with a single driveway access point to/from Hope Street. The project also includes a Vesting Tentative Map for condominium purposes for 140 residential condominium units, six commercial units and a common lot. The purpose of the project is to provide new, additional residential units to Mountain View, new and modern retail space in the downtown area, two small privately-owned publicly-accessible open spaces and related off-site (public) improvements supporting future residents and visitors to the area.
