Plans for the redevelopment of the Midtown site once home to Lee Beaman’s auto dealership seemingly have been altered — and dramatically so.
A document submitted to the Metro Water and Sewer Services Department notes the key portion of the site, about eighth acres, is now being eyed for office buildings with a collective 1.32 million square feet, a 350-room hotel, multiple restaurants with a combined 6,000 seats, 60,000 square feet of retail space and residential buildings with a collective 1,000 units (630 one-bedroom and 270 two-bedroom).  Â
