St. Paul's University Catholic Center is proposing a new 14- story high building that would include a new chapel, student center and residency.
The current building would be demolished and the new building, which was originally proposed in 2007, would be constructed in its place.
According to Ald. Bryon Eagon, District 8, the plans are still in their initial stage and church officials have not yet submitted an official plan to any city committees.
Eagon said the proposed building's height would be a concern for city officials.
""With the character of the immediate surrounding buildings, their first draft images seem a bit out of context,"" he said.
Eagon said, however, that he thinks the proposal is interesting and would like to see more development in the area.
""I think it's an encouraging development, and hopefully some of the issues and concerns can be worked out so the redevelopment of that site can happen,"" he said.
