$1.5M building permit application summited for 6-unit multifam at 4302 Arsenal at Morgan Ford. Seems to be a low dollar amount and number of units given the asking price for the property was $800k. It looks like the owner works for Rustic Reformation Design. Anyone familiar with them?

Maybe typo…16? That would be $50k/unit (still high) but maybe they are going to be condos or high end?

Either way - that's exciting! That corner deserves some residential.

This is the used car lot at Arsenal and Morgan Ford that we're talking about?
It appears so, and that's absolutely thrilling to me.
It's unbelievable that a used car lot faced one of our city's most treasured parks. Residential is going to look and work so much better there.
I'm hoping to see far more development up and down that entire corridor.

Much better than a car lot, wish there was retail on such a prominent and high traffic corner though.

^they were still working on cars as of yesterday... I wonder if they have a date they are working up to...
Also - 3182 Morgan Ford Rd has needed new windows for quite a bit - should finish this week, i'll post pictures of the updates... I think I heard this place got new owners recently too.

^ I hadn't noticed before that the construction permit application for that Arsenal at Morgan Ford site is for "detached" units. Trying to figure out what they have in mind.

Nice - very curious what we're getting here! More housing is always good.

This one remains a bit of a mystery but the property owner has resubmitted a demo permit application.

Does anyone have any updates on what is planned for this or if the demo is moving forward?
There was a zoning-only building permit application submitted September 26 for 4 townhomes.
Must these be really high end to absorb the property acquisition cost?

Confusing, surely it's still demo and build new.

I just noticed today as I drove by so I'm not sure how long its been like this, but all of the cars from the dealership are gone and the signage has been removed from the building. Only a lone SUV sitting inside a locked fence - hopefully this means we're getting demo and construction soon.
How have we not seen a rendering on this one (or maybe I missed it)?

I, too, am eager to see something, haharheights wrote: ↑Jan 29, 2025How have we not seen a rendering on this one (or maybe I missed it)?
Hope its not the case, but have driven by this one and the one at the corner of Arsenal and Kingshighway for years and there have been for sale signs multiple times, and they will clear the lot of cars and then refill it when the new used car owner comes in.
This seems to be more "real" this time so keeping my fingers crossed, but removal of cars itself isn't necessarily a sign.

Issued. Did I miss this going to the Preservation Board? What's going on?quincunx wrote: ↑Dec 14, 2024$800k building permit application submitted for INT/EXT ALTERATIONS (CONVERT COMMERCIAL TO 4 FAMILY PR PLNS)

^ As there are no design standards in TGS and the auto shop/sales building is non-contributing to the Oak Hill historic district I don't think it has to go before the Preservation Board. Same as the old car wash that made way for the 3172 Morgan Ford building, where I believe just CRO staff reviewed it.
Couldn't use the alley instead of a curb cut off Morgan Ford?
