Kemper Development, the owner and developer of Bellevue Square, has submitted design plans for the expansion of Bellevue Square’s southeast corner. If approved, the mixed-use project will include a three-story retail building, three 17-story residential towers and five levels of parking.

A southern tower will include a hotel on the first 10 floors, with residential units on the seven floors above. In all, the three towers will have 303 residential units. The 785,531-square-foot project will require the demolition of the former Oriental Rug Co., and the southeast corner of the existing Bellevue Square parking garage.

A public meeting about the project will be held at 6 p.m. on Sept. 10 at Bellevue City Hall.
