Apartment City

A proposed 92- unit apartment complex on Middlesettlements Road will feature four residential buildings plus a community building, gazebo and playground.

A vote in support of a controversial 114-unit, five- story apartment complex next to Forsyth Park could be reversed this week — or area residents hoping the project is blocked could just get their hopes dashed for a second time. One Savannah City Council member is now having second thoughts about rezoning the project site bounded by Drayton Street , East Bolton Street , Abercorn Street and East Bolton Lane . After voting to approve Delray Ventures’ rezoning request for the project on Aug. 3, Savannah Alderman Tony Thomas announced on Facebook the next day that he plans to call for the 5-3 vote to be reconsidered during Thursday’s meeting. Thomas said Monday that he wants to hear more information about the project and see if the developer would be open to reducing the scale of the building, which he now believes is too big for the area. “I’ve never ever called for reconsideration of a vote up until now because I have reservations and am not afraid to go out and limb and reconsider...
