Late last year, The Max Collaborative<\/a> and The Pinyon Group<\/a> wrapped up construction on a mixed-use complex near the A Line’s Heritage Square Station.<\/p>\n

The project, named A34<\/a> for its location at 131 W. Avenue 34<\/a>, consists of 468 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments with roughly 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and parking for 311 vehicles.<\/p>\n

Project approvals include Transit Oriented Communities incentives<\/a>, allowing greater density and less on-site parking than would have otherwise been permitted by zoning rules. In exchange, 66 of the apartments are to be set aside as very low-income affordable housing<\/a> for a period of 55 years, with an additional 192 apartments to be reserved for moderate-income renters.<\/p>\n

KFA Architecture<\/a> designed A34 which includes elements inspired by the industrial surroundings of the property, with an exterior consisting of stucco and metal.<\/p>\n

The project faced a difficult road during its entitlement phase due to vocal pushback from some residents of the surrounding neighborhood, who argued that the project would accelerate gentrification of the surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, some alleged that the excavation required for building foundations and subterranean parking would release toxins embedded in the soil<\/a> due to past heavy industrial uses on the property.<\/p>\n
