Council is considering the proposal for a six-storey building on Dewdney Trunk Road, near Burnett Street.
It will have a variety of seating areas, including a larger social seating area, on half of the building.
The other half of the roof will be a green roof, with a variety of plantings, and a pedestrian pathway.
He noted the building will be stepped back at the third storey, along its southern face, to limit the impact of the building on residential neighbours.
The proposed building will contain a mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom units.
