This project proposes to transform a vacant and non-conforming industrial site in north Brighton, with the construction of a new 6-story building of approximately 99,000 gross square feet. The development includes 116 residential apartments and artist live-work units, ground floor retail, below-grade parking for its residences and a “district parking” program to address the City’s planned reduction of on-street spaces along Western Avenue. Verdant’s landscape design will replace and upgrade inaccessible sidewalks, impervious surfaces and lacking open space, with improved connectivity, robust street tree canopies and a new public realm. The Western Avenue Corridor Rezoning Study adopted by the city informed the design along the frontage, including a new bus stop, protected bike lane, and deep setbacks. As a benefit to the abutting residential neighborhood, Verdant also designed a public park on the south side of the site along Richardson Street.
