New developer proposes modified plan for Kenwood and Cooper Development

Browning Real Estate Partners has moved quickly to forward their proposal called Ralston Landing for the vacant land on the northwest corner of Kenwood and Cooper Roads after the previous developer was unable to bring his vision to reality.

While the proposal is new, it retains many elements of the previous project. It is a mixed-use development containing a similar number of one- and two-bedroom apartments, 24,000 square feet of commercial/retail space, and a single parking garage that is wrapped by the building on the north, south, and east sides. In their application the developer says that “The commercial uses will provide a mix of retail, restaurants, and other commercial tenants.”
