St. Johns Village Project Shrinks!
Due to concerns of their project being out of scale with the surrounding Riverside/Avodale neighborhood, the developers of St. Johns Village recently released a revised site plan for consideration. Here's a look at the latest version of the proposed Fishweir Creek development.
Project Overview
Description of Latest Plans
Buildings 100A and 100B 4-story structures featuring a combined 72 residential units and structured parking. In the center of the site, Building 200 will be a one-story structure containing 11,000 square feet of retail space. The tallest building would replace the existing Commander Apartments tower. However, the 208-unit structure has been reduced in height from 14 to 7 stories.

Overall, the development's total number of units have been decreased from 300 to 280 units. The amount of proposed retail space has also been reduced by 1,000 square feet. The major question now is will this latest proposal appeal to the increased density concerns of those in opposition?
