A six-story, 352-unit apartment building proposed for 42nd and Market cleared the last phase of community review on Tuesday. When completed the nearly block-long building will cap off one of the densest blocks in the area.
Developers presented plans to the city’s Civic Design Review Committee, an advisory group for large projects that makes non-binding recommendations on everything from building materials to landscaping. Construction could begin this fall.
The Alterra Group presented the project to the West Powelton/Saunders Park RCO in June. The project is being built “by right.” The building will occupy most of the south side of the 4200 block of Market Street and include just over 22,000 square feet of ground floor retail space.
The building, which will replace several low-rise industrial buildings and a parking lot, includes 104 parking spaces within a parking garage on the site. It’s a stone’s throw from the seven-story Alterra building, which controversially replaced the historic Christ Memorial Church on the corner of 43rd and Chestnut. Across the street, construction of a 275-unit building is underway on the northwest corner of 43rd and Chestnut.
