A proposed five story apartment building on Delridge Way SW that began its journey to actual construction in 2008 when the early design guidance was first submitted is finally up for Streamlined Review with the Southwest Design Review Board on Jan. 15, 2015. The building designed by SMR Architects would contain 4000 square feet of retail space and 36 apartments with parking for 39 cars in the building. The location at 4106 Delridge Way SW would put it across the street and close to Bartell Drug Headquarters and the Youngstown Flats apartments. SMR was the firm that handled the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center also Delridge Way.
