LOCATION: 110 S 11th St. in the Channel District, bounded by Whiting and 12th streets and Meridian and Cumberland avenues.

DEVELOPER: WestBay City Homes

DESCRIPTION: A three-phase residential, retail, office and hotel development on 4 acres, formerly called Channelside Village.

Phase 1 will have the Lofts at Seaboard, the Chandlery and the Plaza. The Lofts at Seaboard will have a four-story building and a six-story building with 30 lofts and nine live/work spaces. The Chandlery will be an eight-story building with 64 condominiums, eight live/work spaces, 30,000 square feet of office space on the fifth floor and 7,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. The Plaza will have an open courtyard with trellises, trees and sculptures facing 11th Street.

Phase 2 will have a four-story building with 13 townhomes and 10,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. It will also have a nine-story building with 116 flats, a 14-story building with 42 flats, 12,000 square feet of ground floor retail and a four- to five-story parking garage.

Phase 3 includes a proposed 120-room hotel, more retail space and more condominiums.

PRICE: Prices for the Phase 1 lofts and condos will range from the mid $200,000s to the low $500,000s. Prices for the other phases haven't been set.

AMENITIES: The Lofts at Seaboard will have a fitness center, a third-level plaza with grilling area and landscaping. Loft units will have 10-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops in the kitchens, exposed duct work and exposed concrete block walls. The Chandlery will have a fifth-level plaza with grilling area and landscaping. Amenities for the other phases have not been determined.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: "The density is probably 60 units to the acre, which in an urban area isn't that bad," said WestBay president Roger Gatewood. "We've got a pretty good sized piece of land."

The developers changed the name to reference the Seaboard Coast rail line, which had a strong presence in the Channel District.

TIMELINE: Construction on the Lofts at Seaboard is scheduled to begin in June and take 12 to 14 months. Crews are expected to break ground on the Chandlery in December 2006, with construction lasting about a year.

MOVE-IN DATE: Lofts at Seaboard, June or July 2006; the Chandlery, December 2007.
