A South Florida developer who wants to build near Oxford Exchange has proposed a taller, mixed-use building for the site in response to requests from the surrounding neighborhood and city planners.

Altman Development Corp., based in Boca Raton, submitted a new site plan and updated documents to the city last week that now show Altis Grand Central as a nine-story building with 274 residential units and 2,614 square feet of specialty retail - two 1,300-square-foot spaces that front Grand Central Avenue.

The building will be built around an eight-story parking garage with 579 spaces, "387 of which will be behind a gate and 192 that will be accessible by the public," according to city filings. The development now includes 16,449 square feet of green space, and an eighth-floor pool deck.
