Thanks to Mary M. for finding this article. The neighborhood is facing yet another very large building! 🙁
Westbank will purchase the building which contains St. James’ pastoral outreach center at 907 Columbia as well as the archdiocesan chancery around the corner at 710 9th Avenue. The Archdiocese will find new digs to consolidate its 125 employees, the site yet to be determined. In turn, St. James will purchase from the Archdiocese two floors of Cathedral Place plus the old chancery building at 907 Terry Avenue, one of the city’s most familiar protest sites.
Westbank will build up to 1,300 “residential homes,” with the exact mix of apartments and condominiums yet to be determined. Click here for the full article.
