The project, which broke ground last year at 3642 S. Motor Avenue, consists of a six-story edifice which will feature 62 apartments - including deed-restricted affordable units - above a semi-subterranean parking garage.

The Albert Group Architects is designing the development, which is depicted in renderings a contemporary low-rise structure clad in materials including brick and stucco.  Per a design description supplied by the architecture firm, plans call for an interior courtyard at the second floor, as well as ground-floor community room, and additional common spaces at the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors.

Owner and developer Arden, LLC - which acquired the property for $7.5 million in April 2019 according to city records - anticipates completion prior to the end of 2021.

Plans for an apartment building at 3642 Motor date to 2016, when a prior owner entitled the property for a smaller 49-unit development using state density bonus incentives.  The project was later retooled in its current form using the more robust incentives offered under the Transit Oriented Communities guidelines.

The project is one of a handful of similar mixed-use and multifamily residential building now planned or under construction nearby, including developments at 3451, 3641, 3741, and 3764 Motor Avenue.
