An active group of resident planners have been meeting regularly to discuss how to best redevelop and revitalize this nearly 5-acre property that is adjacent to the IX Park. The parcel will be broken up into construction phases—new housing will be built on open land, allowing for residents to move into new homes and therefore enabling the demolition of existing housing. After the resident planning group selected Grimm + Parker as the architect, a series of collaborative meetings were held to re-imagine how to best use this property to serve its community.
A site plan has been approved for the first phase with a proposed 4-story building housing 44 units of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom homes, open play space and a community health clinic. The project was awarded Low Income Housing Tax Credits in March of 2022. Construction is anticipated to start in 2023.
