The stats are: -5 stories totaling 20,000 square feet above ground, plus a full basement which is partial commercial space and partial tenant storage/utilities-First floor commercial space is around 2300 square feet with an additional 1500 in the basement, 12' ceilings in the first floor-14 residential units above, most have private balconies or decks, elevator, bike storage, mail room.
