What Is Being Proposed?

What Northwood Ravin is Proposing

Northwood Ravin is currently proposing 2 multi-family apartment complexes and a public park, spanning approximately 11 acres within the South Redevelopment Area of the Streets at SouthGlenn. The vacant Sears building and the office building at the corner of E. Easter Ave. and S. Race St. are to be demolished to make way for the new development.

View information from the virtual community meeting from October 2024 regarding this proposal below:

Park

The park must be a minimum of 25,000 square feet and must be completed prior to final occupancy of the first apartment complex.

Residential Dwelling Units

Currently, one 4-story complex and one 5-story complex is being proposed. One complex will include approximately 132 rental units, while the other will have approximately 266 rental units. The complexes offer a mix of floor plans to meet the needs of multiple household types. 1,125 dwelling units are permitted within the Street at SouthGlenn; presently there are 214 at The Portola. A total of 513 additional dwelling units would be permitted within the Street at SouthGlenn if the proposed 398 units are built.

Traffic

With the 2021 Master Development Plan (MDP) amendments in 2021, a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was approved. Staff will require the developer to update the 2021 TIS in accordance with traffic engineering best practices to ensure the data is still relevant upon formal submittal for the plans.

Parking

Per the MDP, the required parking ratio is 1 space per bedroom. Both multi-family complexes will have a parking structure integrated into the design. A podium garage is being proposed under one of the complexes. The larger complex will have a wrap garage in the northwest corner of the complex.

Water Detention Facilities

Two new underground detention facilities are being proposed. The design and capacity of proposed storm water detention facilities will be reviewed by the Southeast Metro Storm Water Authority (SEMSWA).
