Project Overview
The development, designed by tres birds for Hartman Square LLC, will rise five stories and reach a maximum height of 68 feet. Plans call for a single mixed-use building totaling 64 apartments, complemented by office space and community amenities.
The 1.99-acre parcel, zoned M-MX-5, is intended to accommodate a blend of residential and non-residential uses. By designating the project as 100% affordable housing, the development qualifies for several city incentives, including reduced parking minimums, construction fee reductions, and exemptions from linkage fees.
Construction Details
The approved plans include:
64 multi-family units, all income-restricted
56 on-site parking spaces plus one loading space
Office space for supportive services or administration
Landscaped open space designed to connect residents with the surrounding neighborhood
The building form follows a general shopfront style, with the potential for active street-level engagement.

Timeline
With the Site Development Plan (SDP) approved, construction is expected to begin following permit issuance, with an estimated 12–18 month timeline.
The project reflects Central Park’s evolution from a master-planned community into a mixed-use urban hub, with a stronger emphasis on housing diversity. Once complete, the building will add much-needed affordable units while also introducing office and community space to the growing neighborhood.
