Developer plans affordable senior housing in Geneva

A developer has proposed building 44 apartments for seniors on the west side of Geneva.

The Geneva Planning and Zoning Commission will review a conceptual plan for Blackberry Drive Senior Housing at its meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22.

Northpointe Development wants to build what it calls “affordable” housing on the south side of Bricher Road at Blackberry Drive. The 1.25-acre lot is part of a planned unit development that was approved in 2000.

The apartments would be near the Greenwich Square townhouse subdivision, and close to a Walgreens store and a strip shopping center.

The concept calls for 33 one-bedroom apartments and 11 two-bedroom apartments, according to a memo on the city website.

It does not discuss what rents would be or financing for the project.

Wisconsin-based Northpointe built a 48-unit senior apartment building in Yorkville.

The meeting is at City Hall, 22 S. First St.
