Meanwhile, concern by Auburn Avenue merchants and residents that portions of the historic street will be lost to the wrecking ball has been addressed by the church's developer, locally based Integral Group. Integral plans to incorporate the facades of the 49B Bell Building, the Casino Social Club and the Mutual Federal Savings and Loan Building into the redevelopment scheme, brokers intimate with the plans tell GlobeSt.com.
A parking garage location for the project also has to be resolved since merchants and residents have different views on where the parking should be situated, independent consultants not associated with the project tell GlobeSt.com. The condo complex will also have an undetermined amount of retail and office space, as GlobeSt.com previously reported.
The project, three years in planning stage, is attracting national attention from urban planners, architects and developers because Auburn Avenue is where Martin Luther King Jr. grew up and where the civil rights movement of the 1960s had its roots, area brokers tell GlobeSt.com.
