The building, dubbed "Uncommon Auburn" in city documents, is planned for West Glenn Avenue across from Evolve Auburn. Preliminary plans show the 316,661 square-foot building stretching 75 feet into the sky.

Another new apartment building touting 609 beds in 220 units is going through an administrative review process with the city and could be approved soon for construction.

The addition of new student apartments in the downtown area isn't stopping anytime soon.

Retail is slated to be included on the ground floor.

CA Student Living, the same company that owns Evolve Auburn, is developing this new property. Other Uncommon locations recently opened in Oxford, Mississippi, and Athens, Georgia.

In total, the building would have 10 floors, some of which would be underground.

The basic site plans for the mixed-use building were submitted to the City of Auburn's Development Review Team on March 28, 2018. No architectural renderings were included in the proposal.

The DRT is a group of city staff members from various departments that review and approve site plans. And because mixed-use developments are approved in the zone where the building is planned, it won't need review by the City Council or the Planning Commission.

The City Council recently approved a change to Auburn's zoning ordinance that bumped the height limit in the downtown Urban Core College Edge Overlay District to 75 feet. Only a portion of the building is in the Urban Core.

The large majority of the building is planned for the Urban Neighborhood-West District, where 75 feet was already the maximum height before last week's vote.

The development plans include 618 private parking spaces and 87 public spaces.
