At the end of last year, the building officially sold for $14.3 million. The new owners reengaged the Historical Commission this March with new, taller plans for the property. **The 19-story overbuild plans will bring the total structure to 25-stories and 312 feet tall**.

The new plan will include 19 residential units along with commercial space on the 2nd through 5th floors and a mechanical parking system in the rear basement and first floor levels.
