New Apartments Approved Near Southridge

General Capital and Robert Joseph Properties’ proposal for an apartment complex for the east side of the JC Penney property at Southridge Mall was approved by the Greendale Village Board on June 7, according to a release from Greendale.

General Capital previously constructed the 90 unit Berkshire Greendale Senior Housing complex, also adjacent to Southridge Mall.

The new residential complex includes three buildings with a total of 160 apartments including underground parking. The buildings will have a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom units and three-bedroom units. Two of the buildings will access the Southridge Mall Ring Road, and one 46 unit building will access 68th Street.

AG Architects designed the buildings. The project boasts impressive features and finishes on both the interior and exterior. The complex includes 64 one-bedroom units, 92 two-bedroom units and 4 three-bedroom units, 182 underground parking spaces and 86 surface lot parking spaces. The complex will include a clubhouse between the two buildings on the west side of the development. A courtyard will link the north and south buildings.

The proposal has been developed to eliminate the former tire, battery auto center and remediate contamination on the site, enhance and/or stabilize the tax base, improve the vitality of the Southridge Mall Area, attract new residents, and build the Village’s reputation and value.
