Design Department Architecture has asked for a pre-application conference from the city for a proposed new six-story office building at 1139 S.W. Morrison St.

Ben Hufford of Design Department Architecture said the Menashe family, which owns the property, originally planned to rehabilitate a one-story building on the property. They have since decided to tear down the old building to construct a new structure that will have 58,000 square feet on six floors plus a 10,000-square foot basement, he said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 preliminary at this point, but we鈥檙e looking at five floors of office space and one floor of retail,鈥� Hufford said.

Hufford said he is meeting with the Menashe representatives this week to pick from three different renderings for the project.
