A pair of development teams hope to bring a large number of apartments to Rochester and Manchester via three projects.
Developer D.R. Lemieux filed plans with Rochester officials for a 120-unit senior housing development. The four-building project would rise on a wooded lot behind an existing Rochester Housing Authority apartment complex on Olde Farm Lane, north of the city’s downtown.
And developer Tuck Realty Corp. has filed plans for a nearby wooded site that would complete the second phase of a condominium development first started in 1985. Foundations and some roadways are all that remain on the site to the west of Franklin Street and north of a utility corridor after the late-1980s recession put paid to those plans.
Tuck’s plans outline 160 apartments in a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units in four 40-unit buildings with just under 300 parking spaces in a surface lot.
In Manchester, a development team has filed plans to replace a single-story restaurant in the city’s growing Gaslight District with a 50-unit apartment building.
The proposal is a joint project between an affiliate of Las Vegas-based fractional real estate investment company Coral Money Inc. and Boston-based Momo Design & Build.
The 6-story building proposed for 516 Elm St. would need zoning variances for floor-area ratio and minimum buildable lot size, plus site plan approval from the city Planning Board, filings state. However, it otherwise meets dimensional requirements listed in the city zoning for the neighborhood, which is intended to encourage multifamily development.
The site is just behind the new, 250-unit 75 Canal apartment building developed by Jones Street Residential
Plans show 19 parking spaces in a single-level underground garage, two commercial units on the ground floor and no other amenities. The unit mix in the plans stands at 10 studios and 40 two-bed, two-bath units.
