Seawall plans redevelopment of three blocks of Remington Avenue
Seawall Development Corp., which is reinventing Remington with numerous projects, has unveiled detailed plans for its biggest one yet — the redevelopment of a three-block swath of Remington Avenue with retail, apartments, nonprofit offices and parking garages between 27th and 29th streets.
The shops and other businesses would be based on what residents are telling Seawall officials they want, with ideas already including a day care center, restaurants, doctor's offices, a health club, a gymnasium, an art gallery, a bank, and incubator space for small businesses.
"If the community wants a barbecue joint, I'm going to find the best barbecue joint I can find," Evan Morville, a Seawall partner, told 50 people at a community meeting Saturday. He envisions the project as "neighborhood retail," with no big-box stores planned, he said, but did not rule out chain stores.
Morville said Seawall hopes to start construction on the $35 million project in June 2014 and do all three blocks at the same time, finishing in June 2015.
