Two of the St John Apartment Towers are set to be renovated. I think the last one is actually being demolished and replaced. These are unique cylindrical buildings, not all that attractive but I hope they don’t change too much - this early rendering has me very worried.

The plans, which call for **constructing two buildings** consisting of 456 units and 567 parking spaces, will next go back to city land-use boards with specific outlines if RBS continues to pursue the development. According to tax records, the property’s land alone was appraised at $31.5 million last year. The 12-story office building only takes up a slice of the 4.25-acre site. Part of the approved general outline calls for nearly **40,000 square feet of land along the Mill River to be set aside for public access and the potential expansion of Mill River Park.** ---
