I focus on multifamily so that is what I would lead with. Would mixed use work? I'm guessing too far from the Plaza proper to do anything but small retail spaces in a strategic corner. Personally I would take a more modern-looking approach to the architecture than trying to capture some faux-Plaza experience.

Walgreens or CVS anchored development. I think you have to couple it with residential to make it viable, but the area needs to add a few more neighborhood services. The slope and the one way street do make access more challenging...

But not a drug store. There's three CVS stores and two Walgreens within 5 minutes

Need to start tearing down homes and increase density before another drug store will be viable around the plaza area

The property has seen "a lot of traffic" since its listing, he said, adding that as of Tuesday, he is working on letters of intent with qualified national multifamily developers.

Napovanice said he believes a prospective buyer could build approximately 280 apartments on the combined 1.7 acres, potentially modifying Action Pact's "beautiful" existing plan, or even enlisting the companies composing the former development team, in the process.

Action Pact already has completed an estimated 90% of project documents, including a traffic impact study and a 13-core geological survey, he said — "They were literally on their final weeks of getting it done.”

A development plan permit was submitted today for a 12 story building, above 4 below-grade levels of parking with 342 units, along with street-facing commercial and pedestrian improvements.

No viewable attachments as of yet.

Most of the parcels mentioned in this permit are owned by "The Dylan At 4711 Belleview LLC".

4711 Belleview is a mixed use, new construction project located at the intersection of 48th Street & Belleview Ave. The building includes four levels of parking below grade, a landscaped park level amenity deck with multiple pedestrian connections, streetscape improvements, street facing commercial space, and high-rise residential units. The site is currently zoned MPD except for parcel # 142437 (former JJ's restaurant) which would be rezoned as part of this project. The design also proposes 2-way traffic along the section of 48th Street between Belleview Avenue and Roanoke Parkway.

Here are new visuals for Lane4's 338-apartment proposal at 4711 Belleview. At different corners, the building's height would extend four to 41 feet above Midtown/Plaza Area Plan's 130-foot cap, requiring a variance. City Plan Commission is scheduled to review plans August 2

I will say, and it’s a personal opinion, the other plan I saw looked a bit better than this.
