Apartment RenderingRMS, developers of the Van Aken District, proposes to construct Phase 2 of the Van Aken District, a 230-unit apartment building located on the north side of Farnsleigh Rd. between Van Aken Blvd. and Tuttle Rd.  The design process began in late 2020 and the proposed development requires the approval of the Architectural Board of Review, City Planning Commission, and Board of Zoning Appeals.

Currently, all public meetings and hearings are being conducted via Zoom due to the global pandemic. Please check back to this site for updated meeting agendas, presentations, and actions.
