I hope the market can justify both… (though the one at Dix Park won’t be built for several decades, I guess)
Also, as @mike pointed out in the new developments thread, the city is trying to rezone some city-owned properties near DTS for affordable housing. The TBJ’s article on this showed the below parcels:
In the numbers’ order:
- This is the site Mike talked about where there’s 9.25 acres of non-floodplain land available for 340+ residential units
- 0.67 acres are available here for 30 or more housing units.
- 1.2 acres are available here for more than 10 units.
All of these sites are expected to become mixed-use buildings and rezoned to RX-4-UL, but could be eligible for density bonuses (read: could be taller) depending on where the Southern BRT land use study recommends creating transit overlay districts. The homes would be made affordable for low-income families “possibly through a low income housing tax credit project or a land lease to an affordable housing developer”.
