Apartment Choice

There were many aspects of the four- site Capitol Hill transit - oriented development the East Design Review Board liked, but confidence was not high enough to clear it for permitting on Wednesday. Situated above the light rail station , the transit- oriented development will be Capitol Hill’s largest construction project to date, creating more than 400 apartment units in a superblock that borders Broadway , 10th Avenue, East John Street and East Denny Way. Each of the four buildings will be seven stories. Three will provide around 20 percent of their apartment units at affordable levels, while the Capitol Hill Housing B-North site will include 110 units at affordability rates of 30-60 percent of the area median income . The East Design Review Board ’s last assessment of the development, which is being led by Portland- based Gerding Edlen Development (GED), was in December. Board members agreed developers responded to the guidance provided at that time, but didn’t feel every r...

When it was first built in the early 70s, Reston’s Tall Oaks Village Center faced little retail competition, but its fortunes changed when the Reston Town Center ’s shops and restaurants opened in 1990. It was dealt another blow when its anchor tenant, grocer Giant, closed its doors in 2007. Today, the 70, 000 square foot shopping center is 86 percent empty. However, the languishing center is set to take rebirth as a vibrant mixed use development with housing, retail, office and open space . The Board of Supervisors recently approved Jefferson Apartment Group ’s redevelopment plans for the village center . This has been a very difficult center to remodel or upgrade, and I hope Jefferson is able to provide what is needed to start that Supervisor Cathy Hudgins, Hunter Mill District Located at the corner of Wiehle Avenue and North Shore Drive , the village center is one of five in Reston, although it’s the smallest at about 18 acres.

SOUTH BEND — Additional details emerged Thursday concerning plans for a mixed-use apartment project and full-scale brewery near Four Winds Field. “What we’re doing is we’re going to build a first-class experience but at an affordable rate,” Andrew Berlin , owner of the South Bend Cubs , said of the project. The Redevelopment Commission agreed Thursday to contribute $3.4 million to the project for building and infrastructure improvements. Situated directly outside Four Winds Field, Berlin Place will feature 120 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments and 10,000 square feet of ground- floor retail space across four buildings.
