Plans to replace an office building in the West End with a 345-unit apartment building are heading to city review.
According to city records, the applicant, 1900 Beauregard Property Owner LLC, a New York-based company, bought the four-building, 300,000-square-foot Beauregard Professional Center for $12.6 million in 2021.
Plans include demolishing the 57,000-square-foot building at 1900 N. Beauregard Street and replacing it with a six- to seven-story apartment building.
The new building would have 330 market-rate apartments — 40 studios, 161 one-bedroom apartments, 144 two-bedroom apartments, including 35 affordable housing units (10%). Also envisioned is an above-grade parking garage.
Current plans submitted to the city state there will be 15 affordable units. The developer, however, told us that the city hasn’t updated the submission showing 35 affordable units.
The submission comes as the city contends with a tanking commercial real estate market.
“The Applicant has worked with Staff for over a year on the building footprint, site layout, access, open space, etc.,” according to the SUP.
The Planning Commission will review the special use permit and preliminary site plan on April 1.
