But they look much different than a few years ago.
The city’s Design Review Board got the first look on Wednesday, embracing the changes, but asking for a few more.
The building will include a new restaurant and four condos, which will operate as hotel rooms, rented by the night.
The proposed site for the new building is at 472 Fifth Avenue S. It’s now home to a single-story building, flanked by newer, taller ones that house the Del Mar and Osteria Tulia restaurants.

The town of Ave Maria will grow by nearly 1,000 acres.
On Tuesday, Collier County commissioners greenlighted the change, without debate, bringing the town’s size to 5,000 acres, the largest allowed by county rules.
The size doesn’t include Ave Maria University. Its roughly 1,000-acre campus and other public benefits, such as parks, aren’t counted in its borders under the approvals that allowed the town to be built on rural lands, roughly 25 miles east of Naples.
Why is the town expanding?
