A new townhouse duplex is in permitting for a vacant lot next to the Aikido studio, at 129 South Wells Avenue.
The permit reads:
RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION. SITE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED NEW 2-STORY WOOD FRAME DUPLEX TOWNHOUSE INCLUDING MECHANICAL, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL & ASSOCIATED SITE WORK & LANDSCAPING.
It will be about 28 feet tall, with 2,152 sf of living space between the two units, and will have a garage. I'm hoping there will be enough buffer zone to preserve that beautifully gorgeous mural on the side of the aikido studio. Either way, it's a unique location for a residential project.
Location makes no sense for duplex. They should have built ground retail and 2 floor apartment on top.
