Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative is proposing a 40-unit multifamily apartment building at 1375 Frost Avenue – the site of the former Gladstone House. The building will comprise 30 two-bedrooms, 6 three-bedroom and 4 four-bedroom units. In addition to the housing, there will be a space for supportive services and common gathering spaces. Additional amenities will include bike storage, a fitness center, a playground, an outdoor gathering space, underground parking, and a surface lot for visitors.
This project is required to provide 80 parking spaces. The applicant is proposing to have 61 spaces on site – which needs the approval of a parking waiver from the city council. However, the applicant is working to execute a shared parking agreement with the Philippine Center across the street to provide additional 20 parking spaces. The City is the current property owner, and the City Council entered into a purchase agreement with Beacon last year to develop housing on this site.
