The site is located in the original town of Glendale Tract in the City Center/Citrus Grove residential neighborhood and sits along the East Broadway Corridor, a minor arterial serving a variety of retail, commercial, educational, and residential uses. The site will feature a public, pedestrian paseo, which will adjoin the 900 East Broadway campus (subject to a current, but separate City of Glendale RFQ). The Glendale Housing Authority wishes to ensure that development of the site will produce a high-quality project, which will be rehabilitated with historical integrity in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation to be eligible for Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credits. Project entitlements for the site will be completed by the City of Glendale in advance of the selected development team commencing its pre-construction work.
