The Town of Chapel Hill has issued a zoning compliance permit to the 140 West project, clearing the way for the start of the condominiums, retail and parking project on the town’s Parking Lot 5 at the intersections of Franklin, Church and Rosemary streets in downtown Chapel Hill.
The project includes 140 homes (18 of which are in a trust for affordable housing), 26,000 square feet of ground-level retail space and 337 parking spaces. Ram Development Co. is the project developer and the general contractor is John Moriarty & Associates Inc. Completion is projected in about two years.
Portions of the lot adjacent to Rosemary Street will be closed beginning Dec. 15. The remainder of the lot will remain open for public use until Jan. 3.
