A developer is proposing a new, seven-story apartment building on New Haven’s Orange Street, providing 190 units and retail space.
The downtown site at 7 Orange St., on the corner of George Street, is currently a surface parking lot owned by the city.
The applicant, Max Ritchie of L&M Development Partners in Larchmont, New York, has outlined plans for a 152,920-square-foot building that would provide a mix of affordable and market rate housing.
Fifty-seven of the units would be rented to residents making less than 50% of the area median income.
The design includes more than 100 studio apartments, 40 one-bedroom units, 26 two-bedroom and 10 three-bedroom apartments.
A retail or commercial space of 3,433 square feet would anchor the corner of the property with frontage on both Orange and George streets.
The developer proposes to start work at the site in early 2027, and projects that the building would take two years to complete.
The City Plan Commission will hear more details at its next meeting on Feb. 25.
