A building permit is under review for The Canyons, a 70-unit senior housing concept that intends to builds partnerships with local businesses, makes it easier for residents to age in place.
Every week, the Bureau of Development Services publishes lists of Early Assistance applications, Land Use Reviews and Building Permits processed in the previous week. We publish the highlights. This post covers April 2nd to April 8th, 2018.

I thought Division St was “the Canyons”! We’re building away out here (8 projects between 28th and 33rd) to retain that title!
One thing is really perplexing to me about The Canyons. The internal ped path that provides access between the larger and smaller buildings – it is wedge shaped with the narrow end of the wedge pointing south to the street. This seems like a poor choice for two reasons: it’s not good from a safety standpoint, and it minimizes solar access. You’d think you’d want to have the wide opening where the sun is.
