August 11th, 2011 · 2 Comments

GRE LL Greenwood LLC has applied for a permit to build 263 apartments in three buildings, plus a 212-stall underground parking garage, on the site of the old Leilani Lanes, at 10201 Greenwood Ave. N.

Each of the three buildings of Leilani Apartments would be four stories tall. The project also includes 10 live-work units (7,618 square feet) and ground floor retail (1,445 square feet) in one of the buildings, plus a large central courtyard.

The preferred option from the developer’s Department of Planning and Development land use application. Sketch courtesy of Grouparchitect.

According to the developer’s proposal, the units will be mostly studios and one-bedrooms.

You can see the entire application package here, including drawings and site elevations of the three proposed options. DPD will accept comments on the project, including any environmental concerns, through Aug. 24. You can comment online by going to the Notice of Application, then clicking “Comment on Application” near the top.

    One can only hope that there is sensitivity to the aesthetic and appearance of this endeavor. Greenwood deserves it. We seem to be overrun with lack of design and an overwhelming “build as cheap as possible” mentality in this type of housing.

    Greenwood’s full of ‘build cheap’ houses that are decades old. By and large, people prefer larger homes built cheaply rather than plain, well-built homes. Apartments are the same.
