Plan for 448 apartments, park and shops in Rockridge faces key vote next month
Briefly

The project aims to revitalize a long-vacant property with 448 apartments, which includes market-rate rentals and some affordable housing options, addressing Rockridge's housing scarcity.
Developer Marc Babsin emphasized the need for the CCA project to counteract Rockridge's history of exclusionary zoning, arguing for a fair share of housing in the area.
Despite the project’s merits, the developer acknowledged current financial challenges that may delay construction until the market conditions improve.
The presentation at the City Council highlighted community concerns and the modifications made in response to 'pushback,' showcasing the collaborative effort of planning.
