A developer is proposing a 59-unit, five-story apartment building on the 600 block of West Wilson Street.

There will be a Bassett neighborhood meeting about the project tonight, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. at J.H. Findorff & Son Inc., 300 S. Bedford St.

Walter Wayne Development, LLC, and Block 600, LLC, are the partners behind the project spanning 616 to 632 W. Wilson St.

The market-rate apartments would include studios, one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den and two-bedroom units. There would be 59 enclosed parking spaces, some which would be below-ground.

The project would demolish five existing house currently utilized as apartments. All five buildings were built between 1884 to 1904, according to the city assessor’s office. Dave Diamond, president of Walter Wayne Development, said issues around any historical value of the buildings didn’t come up in preliminary meetings with the city.

The target market for the apartments is professionals working in the area, “not unlike the complexes adjacent to us and across the street,” Diamond said. 640 West Apartments, Nine Line and Quarter Row apartments are all near the proposed development.
