Concerns have arisen in Magnolia Village over the lack of movement with the proposed, mixed-use apartment complex at 2406 32nd Ave. W. The property is occupied by two adjoining, 1940s vintage, vacant commercial buildings between U.S. Bank and Ace Hardware.
According to project architect Roger Newell, the project is still on track.
“We are redoing things to meet requirements we’ve gotten from (the city’s) design and review. We’re in the process of preparing documents for final review,” he said, referring to the application for a Master Use Permit, which he estimated to be six to eight weeks away.
Developer Terry Yoshikawa’s application to the city last December called for a four-story building featuring between 3,000 and 4,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor and 24 to 28 apartment units above. Plans also called for underground parking to accommodate about 32 cars.
The project would be the first, new commercial space in Magnolia Village in a decade.
