In late 2014 the firm paid $1.3m for the old office building at the site, which will be demolished and replaced by the new complex.
As well as apartments, Orion intends to develop an on-site parking area, a ground-floor restaurant and a bar.
The high-rise development proposal is in-line with the city’s intention to restore the rapids in the Grand River and improve waterway access throughout downtown.

Orion Construction business development director and Orion Real Estate Solutions president John Wheeler was quoted by MiBiz as saying: "I’m not saying we’re banking on it, but if it goes, it’s really going to enhance this.
"All of the rest of the land is [proposed as] a city park.
