The Hoppe Brothers
have been chosen to redevelop 6.5 acres of property around 21st and “N” streets, which officially begins the process of negotiating a redevelopment agreement for approval by City Council. The proposed “Exchange at Antelope Valley” is named for the area’s history as the site of the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Company, and will include a variety of housing options, retail space and a 32,000 square foot grocery store. Construction is expected to begin in a year, and over that time designs will be finalized, the construction work will be bid, and the site will be prepared.
The Exchange proposal will include 64 three-story row houses for purchase, as well as several other housing options. The Windstream Lofts at the site of the current Windstream warehouse will include 66 affordable rental apartments, and twenty of the apartments will be available for those with mental health challenges and will include supervision and casework facilities. A new building east of the warehouse will include 32 low-income apartments with geothermal heating and cooling, and The Lincoln Housing Authority and CenterPointe will provide voucher rental assistance and onsite case management. Also, a three-story building at the site of the former Williamson Honda building will include 24 apartments along with retail and commercial space on the ground floor and a proposed restaurant.
