Irving officials point to Heritage Crossing redevelopment and new senior project as examples of upcoming housing activity
Summary
City staff referenced a council-approved redevelopment of the former lumberyard (Heritage Crossing) for roughly 200 multifamily units with retail and a six-story parking garage, and noted a recently approved market-rate senior housing project at Beltline and Storey.
During the public session on housing finance, Planning Director Steve Reid said the city council approved an economic development agreement for redeveloping the old lumberyard site on Irving Boulevard (Heritage Crossing) into a multifamily development that will include retail fronting Irving Boulevard and later restaurant/retail phases. "I believe it was around 200 multifamily units," Reid said, and staff added the project will include a six-story parking garage serving most residences and is expected to build out over several years.
An attendee also asked about a recently approved senior housing project near Beltline and Storey; Reid said that development is a single-story, market-rate senior housing project with some services but not an affordable or subsidy-supported product. Attendees noted a continuing need for senior housing without services as well as options that allow independent living in cottage- or bungalow-style settings.
The references to these local projects were raised as context for the financing and incentive discussion rather than as items acted on in this meeting. Staff directed residents to submit further questions and said the planning office will finalize and post written answers to previously submitted queries.
