This rezoning request is a win-win for everyone involved.
The city gets more affordable housing. Seamless Capital LP has committed to providing 10% of the total units at 60% MFI as on-site affordable housing. This is a huge win for the city, which is facing a severe shortage of affordable housing.
The developer gets a more cohesive site plan and project. By syndicating the two adjacent parcels into the broader development site, Seamless Capital can create a more walkable and transit-oriented development.
The community gets a better project. The expanded project will include more green space, better pedestrian and bicycle access, and improved traffic circulation. This will make the area more livable for everyone.
