The College of William and Mary plans to build a new student retail and apartment complex.

The school's real estate foundation says the $5 million mixed-use project will feature 14 apartments and 12,000 square feet of retail space. The first floor of the three-story building will be dedicated to retail stores, which will feature restaurants with outdoor seating. The top two floors will be apartments that will house 56 upperclassmen and will be managed by the school's Office of Residence Life.

Foundation officials will present these plans this month to the city of Williamsburg's architectural review board. They are hoping to start building next summer and complete the project by fall 2011.
