A prominent Santa Fe architectural firm is in the planning stages of a bank reconversion project.
That project, to be designed by the Architectural Alliance, will see the expansion of a one-story, 15,400 square foot structure located at 2020 Rosina Street into new residential space.
The building is one of two on a block-long site that for more than two decades served a First National Santa Fe Bank location and was built in 1978.
Architectural Alliance hopes to create an entirely new configuration for the structure which would see an additional two stories with a roof deck, a central courtyard, and the reconversion of a second structure at the other end of the site.
The structure, which last underwent a renovation more than a decade ago, will ultimately house 32 apartment units ranging in size from just under 800 square feet to just over 1,200 square feet.
Developer of the project is the Santa Fe-based Clueless on Rosina, LLC.
Founded in 1993, Architectural Alliance concentrates on residential and commercial construction and reconversion projects.
Plans for the bank redevelopment have been submitted to the City of Santa Fe for review. If all goes well, work on the project could begin next summer.
