Bridge Housing Corp., the developer of the Heritage South Senior Apartments at 762 N. Fair Oaks Avenue, is now seeking to build a follow-up project on a neighboring site which is partially developed with a drive-through restaurant. The Heritage South II development would be comprised of a three-story edifice featuring 70 units of supportive housing atop 2,200 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Parking for 37 vehicles would be located in a surface lot to the north.
KTGY Architecture + Planning is designing the apartment complex, which would have a U-shaped footprint wrapping a central private courtyard. Proposed on-site amenities include a multipurpose room and a community room.
A staff report describes the project as being of a Contemporary Modern design, which complements the neighboring Heritage South development without replicating its form. The report found that the updated design incorporated feedback provided at a preliminary consultation in March 2021, and recommended approval, subject to conditions requiring further refinement.
