A 200-unit apartment complex being planned along Red Arrow Highway in Lincoln Township has taken another step forward.
The Lincoln Township Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved a planned unit development site plan for Red Arrow Bluffs, to be located at the site of the former Snowflake Motel.
Abonmarche presented trustees with the plan, saying the development will include studio apartments all the way up to three-bedroom apartments, along with green space and a pool. A mound with some trees will also be added to the northern side of the property to prevent third story occupants from seeing into neighboring yards.
Following site plan approval, Isaac Hall with developer Great Lakes Capital told us there are still several hurdles to clear.
“In order to make the project financially possible, we’re going to seek seme brownfield incentives, so that will go before the brownfield commission and then the board of trustees as well,” Hall said. “So, that’s really the next hurdle, but as we talked about in the meeting, there are a bunch of state hurdles we have to go through as far as approvals on drainage, building permits, stuff like that.”
Hall said construction will likely start in the spring. The first of six apartment buildings would be finished after about 12 months, with the rest of the buildings gradually reaching completion over the following several months.
Rents are expected to range from $1,000 per month for a studio up to $2,000 a month for a three-bedroom unit.
The vote by trustees to approve the site plan was contingent on a few permit approvals and similar requirements.
