Add to the list of proposed developments the new Armory Revival project at West Fountain and Cargill Streets on the West Side. This development would require demolition of buildings on the ICBD list, and is one of the largest scale developments in the area since the Public Safety Building. The proposal is for over 80 units of loft-style condos and ground floor retail. It includes 8 units of affordable housing (60-80% median income). Variances are required for demolition and height. The project must go before the Historic District Commission, the CPC and the zoning board for approval.

Ina Anderson from WBNA writes: The WBNA does have a development planned for 1577 Westminster Street. However it does not include 65 townhouse stlye units. It is a mixed-use affordable housing and retail building that incorporates green features in its design and adheres to the West Side Overlay Zone. It will include four affordable condos and two affordable retail/commercial spaces. Everyone is welcome to stop by the WBNA at 1560 Westminster Street to have a look at the designs and give us your comments.
