The Planning Board gave a tentative nod to the affordable senior housing planned for property at Buena Vista Avenue and Sherman Street. If the plan moves forward the 32-foot tall building, pictured above, would stand cheek-on-jowl to the Del Monte warehouse building.
As part of the $125 million Del Monte development, Tim Lewis Communities agreed to build 55 units of affordable housing. The apartment complex under consideration by the Planning Board would contain 31 units. Lewis will also provide 24 more units for moderate-income residents in the main building.
Members of the Planning Board and the Alameda community were able to review details of the Master Plan for the rehabilitation, reuse, and redevelopment of the former Del Monte Warehouse 1501 Buena Vista Ave. at the Planning Board meeting last Monday, April 28.
The Master Plan laid out in detail the project’s configurations regarding the number of housing units, parking arrangements and possible commercial property locations at the site. The 11.5-acre site will include at least 309, but up to 414 housing units and as much as 25,000 square feet of commercial space.
