The buildings is converted into 33,000 sq. ft. of street-level commercial and retail space and 38 market-rate residential units totaling 42,000 sq. ft.. Crown Square comprises one portion of the overall redevelopment of the 14th Street Mall area. The other component consists of 42 units of affordable housing financed through tax-exempt bonds (and related four percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity), historic tax credits and other subsidies; financing for this component closed in mid-2007.
