New student-geared apartment plans were proposed Monday evening at the Allendale Charter Township board meeting.
These plans include housing that will be located on the northwest corner of 52nd Street and Pierce Street and will be called Allsward Terrace. The townhome-like housing will include four beds and four baths with one bedroom located on the first floor and three on the second floor.
C&E Infrastructure project manager Jeff Vos said the building units are not expected to be available for rent until December. However, this date is subject to change.
“We are addressing the township’s concerns,” he said. “We believe we are on track for an approval, but we have to afford the township the opportunity to say that.”
Vos said C&E Infrastructure had been asked by the township to revise its plans for landscaping, curbs around the parking, sidewalk configurations and the aesthetic appearance to the buildings.
The next township meeting is scheduled for March 21.
