Corus Bank is providing the developer, Davis Group, a non-recourse loan. The Davis Group includes Allison S. Davis, a member of the city's plan commission.
In addition for a 229-space parking garage, plans for the Columbian include ground-floor retail space. The building, designed by DeStefano + Partners, will include units ranging from 825 sf to 6,000 sf.
