greenway heights project narrative

Greenway Heights Project Narrative PRG and Phoenix Development are partnering for the development of the Greenway Heights family housing project to be located on the northeast corner of Bloomington Avenue South and the Midtown Greenway. This project, located adjacent to a city-designated “Growth Center” and along a major recreational amenity, arose from a land use plan developed by the East Phillips Improvement Coalition in response to the need for larger-unit, affordable, family housing. Greenway Heights will include 42 two-, three- and four-bedroom units affordable to households earning less than 50% AMI. This project is responsive to market demand, particularly in light of the loss of affordable rental units to the foreclosure crisis, and will address the housing needs created by the growth of larger families within the neighborhood. Financed with bonds and 4% tax credits, CPED’s support of this project will enable PRG and Phoenix Development to move forward in a timely fashion and provide much needed affordable housing in this transit and jobs rich neighborhood. The building will be 4-stories or 47 feet in height. Parking will be provided at a ratio of .9 stalls per dwelling unit and will be accessed from a curb cut on Bloomington Avenue. Bike racks will be provided within the parking garage as well as near the main building entrance at grade. Throughout the site, rain gardens will be incorporated to help infiltrate stormwater and provide color. A screen hedge of miniature willow will buffer the north property line. New maple trees will be added to the existing mature maples to fill out the street tree canopy on both street frontages. A children’s play area will be located adjacent to the first floor community space and raised garden beds will be provided for resident use. Along the south property, the project will incorporate a promenade that will run parallel to the Midtown Greenway. The design of the promenade will include a mixture of barberries and roses adjacent to a short retaining wall. The wall and plantings will help buffer the private residential patios and green space from the public promenade. Pre-fabricated gateway arbors will be located at each end of the property and in the center, creating a sensation of enclosure for the promenade. The building itself is designed to respond both contextually and culturally to the unique characteristics of the East Phillips neighborhood. The site is uniquely located at the northern edge of the Midtown Greenway, Minneapolis’s own green path that serves to thread the urban nodes and neighborhoods throughout the city. The design of the building aims to incorporate the traditional design elements of the neighborhood while responding in a contemporary manner to both the site and the culture of the people. The long south façade responds to the notion of movement and connectivity with insertions of vertical ‘color’, creating a rhythm as one view’s the building from the Greenway. As these insertions of color move around the building’s façade, they also serve to respond to the strong cultural ties of the neighborhood. The bold and warm colors serve to welcome the people and community that will inhabit the building. The primary materials of the façade will be a mix of cement board panels, lap siding and metal siding, articulated to reflect the neighborhood context and culture. In plan, the west end of the building shifts north to ‘open up’ at the intersection of Bloomington Avenue South and the Midtown Greenway. This shift allows a greater use of the outdoor space on the south side of the building, responding to the physical characteristics of the site. The building’s main entrance is also celebrated at the southwest corner of the site - encouraging a shared view of the community space and outdoor area to those passing by. Again, this gesture reinforces the notion of integrating the building and the inhabitants into the neighborhood. The design of the main entrance will include a cedar post and trellis feature that helps to link the entrance and the outdoor space of the site.
