A local developer has filed plans to add a 214-unit apartment complex to a retail center in Daly City.

Kimco Westlake, based in Daly City, has proposed building the seven-story complex at 99 Southgate Ave., SF Yimby reported. The project would require demolishing a vacant commercial building once inhabited by a Burlington Coat Factory store.

The gray, white and brown building, designed by San Diego-based SGPA Architecture and Planning, would include recessed windows behind black and green balconies.

The 88-foot-tall complex would include 214 apartments and 10,800 square feet of ground-floor shops, restaurants and a pharmacy. A parking garage would be fitted into the first and second floors below the apartments.

A rendering depicts two landscaped courtyards on the second floor above the shops, surrounded by apartments in the U-shaped complex. A rooftop sky deck and lounge would offer views of Lake Merced and Twin Peaks.

The 99 Southgate project would be the first residential addition to the Westlake Shopping Center, built as a model post-World War II suburban center with shopping and a commercial core at its center, according to its architect.

Outdoor dining will spill out onto new landscaped and tree lined sidewalks to create a walkable environment.

Kimco Realty, a real estate investment trust based in New York, bought the Westlake Shopping Center in 2002. The center is anchored by Home Depot, Safeway, Trader Joe’s, Walgreens, Burlington and a Ross Dress for Less, according to its website.
