A new residential development (item 18) near the Eisenhower Metro station is headed to City Council for final approval this weekend.
The project, called Eisenhower East Block 20, would create 110 total residential condominium units. Of those, two affordable housing units would be available for purchase.
The project previously caught some flack from city staff for being too short and the developer ultimately boosted the height to meet the minimum required height of 150 feet. It was unanimously backed by the Planning Commission.
Eisenhower East Block 20 will be built along a new road connecting Port Street and Mill Road, though the Mill Road side will be one-way eastbound, likely to prevent more crowding where Mill Road connects to the Beltway. A new shared-use path will also be built along Mill Road.
The project is scheduled for review at the City Council meeting on Saturday, Dec. 14.
