The building proposes a smaller setback than is required by code on three sides. There is a planned roof deck, roughly in the center of the building. The ground floor will also have bike storage. The side facing Federal will have an amenity room at street level. The top four floors, which will be stepped inward, will have metal siding. The side of the building facing Federal will have brick on the bottom four floors. The recessed area will largely have metal siding. The façade facing Republican is to have brick veneer for the lower six stories, with metal siding on the top two floors. The opposite corner is also recessed to conform to the lot line. Plans from developer RMJ Holdings and Grouparchitect call for a building that is roughly a rectangle, but has one corner carved out to make a courtyard for the specimen tree. A new tree, of a different species that won’t impact the entry, is proposed. The developer acknowledges that the existing tree could technically fit in the space, but its low-hanging branches could possibly cause problems with the entryway. The street trees along Federal will be preserved.Ī large flowering cherry tree, also on the corner lot, will be removed and replaced.

Two existing street trees along Republican have been deemed in poor health and will be removed and replaced. Plans call for the building to basically be constructed around the tree. One of the most noticeable parts of the existing site at 1013 E Republican, an exceptional paper birch tree on the corner lot, is to be preserved. That earlier version had called for a 117-unit building, but there’s no longer any mention of that number.Īnd now, it’s back in the building pipeline with a recently released plan for design review (PDF). There was some movement later in 2020, but then things seems to have stalled. There was another, email evaluation by Pike Pine Urban Neighborhood Council.

There were more community outreach meetings in November of that year and in January 2020. In the works for years, developers began meeting with the Pike Pine Urban Neighborhood Council in November 2019. In a trade a city desperate for new housing should be happy to make, an eight-story, 75-unit building will rise across from Broadway Hill Park. According to tax records, two of the three are single family homes, while the third is a duplex. Three existing homes, each dating to the first years of the 20th century, will be demolished. A plan to bring new development to the corner of E Republican and Federal Ave E neighboring the area’s mix of single family-style homes and old apartment buildings stalled during the pandemic, but now it’s coming back and will appear before the East Design Review Board this week.
