Lander Group East & West Housing Proposal
The Lander Group has been approved for Downtown Design Review, and has requested approval from the Renaissance Zone Authority for a new construction project on Avenue A and North 2nd Street and Avenue A North and 3rd Street north of the Federal Building.
The group has proposed four new multifamily residential structures at Lander West. Each structure would be a 5-plex with three stories, and three of the structures would also contain an additional carriage house unit. A total of 23 residential units with a proposed investment of $2,560,000. Off-street parking would be provided on site.
The Lander Group is also proposing to construct a new 4-story multifamily residential building on East Avenue A and North 3rd Street. The ground-floor parking lot would be accessed from the driveway on North 2nd Street. Parking for Lander East would be provided onsite tucked on the north side of the first floor. A total of 67 housing units would be constructed on the Lander East site with a proposed investment of $9,150,000.
Downtown Design Review approved both Lander Group projects on the condition that variances would need to be approved by the Board of Adjustment.  Property owners in the vicinity will be notified by mail of the next public hearing for the Renaissance Zone applications in February.
