The City of Glendale Planning Commission has approved a request from Shea Connelly Development, LLC to build an apartment complex at the SWC of Alice Avenue and 67th Avenue.
The new Golden Lane Apartments will feature a contemporary design “with strong building forms, punched windows and flat roofs,” according to Glendale city documents. The development will consist of eight three-story buildings and a single-story community center. There will be 48 one-bedroom, 120 two-bedroom and 24 three-bedroom units — 192 market rate units altogether — which will vary from 690SF to nearly 1200SF. The project will also include gated entry, a clubhouse, fitness center and business center. There are plans for reserved covered parking, open parking and handicapped accessible parking.
The approximately 7.5-acre site is situated in an area already marked with residential spaces. North of the site is single-family residential space called West Park Manor, a single-family home and Morning Star multifamily senior housing. Glencroft Retirement Community is to the east. Paradise Groves — a manufactured home community — borders the site to the west, while two residential properties border the site to the south.
