Charles Heimsath Fact Quotations

It's a very appropriate location to consider a variance, given the fact that mayor has come out with statement he wants 25,000 residential units in the downtown area. Simple math would suggest if you're going to try to achieve that goal, you're going to have to do a lot of tall buildings.

If it was a five-acre parcel, I think I would be very hesitant to try to build mid-range housing product in that location, but the fact that it's 50 acres means you can really create an environment that changes the character of the entire area. I think that's really the key to making this successful, because otherwise you're in kind of a sea of lower-income rental housing.
