Plans Advance for Development Near Schwartz Castle Airbnb on Livingston

The Special Meeting of the German Village Commission held on August 6, 2025, focused on ongoing development discussions in the area. A key topic was the potential for extending a project westward down Livingston Avenue, where a four-story building, known as the old Schwartz Castle, currently operates as an Airbnb and serves residential purposes.

Commission members emphasized the importance of pursuing this development, highlighting the need to consider the existing structures and their impact on the community. The discussions reflect a broader interest in balancing residential needs with new developments in the historic German Village area.

As the commission continues to explore these options, the implications for local zoning and community character remain significant. Further meetings are expected to address these concerns and outline next steps for the proposed developments.
