Building Projects We’re Monitoring

9033 Ramsgate (ED1 100% Affordable) Approved

Published Date: 20 - NOV - 2024

#1: STATUS & BaBWP's TAKE

The project was approved as of 18-Sept-24, a total of 85 days from date of application. (A good sign the original application was “clean” and within the bounds of ED1 building standards.)

  • The developer is a larger operation which bodes well for stable execution on the build. 
  • The building design itself features an open-air interior core, more windows and air circulation for more units—both advantages in this building’s ED1 design.
  • The inclusion of 36 parking spaces is a value-added addition, considering the affordable density law does not require on-site parking.
