The proposed mixed-use building at 1699 Market Street, the former longtime home of the now-departed FLAX art supply store, got a thumbs up from the Planning Commission yesterday. Among the project’s boosters: Howard Flax himself.
The proposed nine-story building would include 15 studios, 81 one-bedrooms, and 64 two-bedroom condo units. The ground floor would be commercial retail space, which planning commissioners deemed a particularly attractive asset for the burgeoning neighborhood.
