This is Phase III of the Choice Neighborhoods plan. It is a mix of affordable and market-rate housing, which has been working out great so far in that area. Of course the usual suspects will assert with great confidence that no one with a decent income would ever choose to live in mixed-income developments. And then all the market-rate units quickly lease out.

Edit: Oh, and it may contain some ground-floor retail. At least that was the original plan. Also, I should note "affordable" includes both actual HUD-assisted units and "workforce" units, with the latter units having higher qualifying income limits.
