The Site
The City of Durham is considering a reconfiguration of the Downtown Loop near Roxboro and Cleveland. Significant engineering work is complete. The project would restore the historic street grid and create a site of approximately 200 by 250 feet from prior right-of-way and formerly unusable teardrop islands.
The Project
Cleveland & Church Development Partners proposes the development of the site as a grocery store with three floors of rental housing above. We project the grocery size at 25,000-30,000 square feet, with about 116 mixed-income apartments — ranging from studios (35% of units) to three bedroom apartments (5%). Under our proposal, 34% of apartments would rent forunder $700 and 62% under $895 —“affordable by design.”
