Project Description (from developer): The project consists entirely of rent-restricted units and will utilize income averaging such that the entire project will average rents at less than 60% of Area Median Income (AMI) while serving families earning a range between 25% AMI to 80% AMI. Income averaging rents at 60% allows for deep penetration of affordable, extending to 25% AMI, all the while providing affordable housing to another underserved portion of the population at 80% AMI. Families needing 80% AMI units are not traditionally targeted by affordable housing subsidies, nor are they well-served by the market, and certainly not by current new construction cost basis. The need for Liberty Corner’s large family units across the income spectrum is both crucial and urgent. Critical in terms of its importance and impact as part of a reasoned response to Salt Lake City’s housing crisis, and urgent in terms of the need for affordable housing for families.
Liberty Corner is mission-designed. The intent of every element of the undertaking is to create an environment in which those families that move into Liberty Corner are given the opportunity to live in a safe and uplifting environment that fits their needs. The community is designed for families. The 200 residential units are designed as two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments with a majority of the units in the community being three- and four-bedrooms. Every unit will include full kitchens, a complete appliance package of a range, oven, dishwasher, microwave, washer, and dryer, and at least two bathrooms. The units provide a complete home for an entire family that is safe, secure, and dignified.
Liberty Corner provides a place that families can call their home and they can be proud of the home in which they live. A critical complement to Liberty Corner’s units are the community amenities. The community will provide a fitness center/gym, a clubroom with lounge, game area and a kids room, as well as flex space that can be used for group gatherings, additional lounge space, work/study space, community events, and life skills classes. As Liberty Corner is a family-oriented community, an outdoor water amenity is planned, along with generous outdoor open space, programming and equipment, including a tot-lot, delivering the experience of a ‘backyard’ within an urban residential apartment community.
Liberty Corner is a seven-story, Type IIIA over Type IA building applying for design review as required by the Commercial General zone for buildings seeking greater than 60’ in height. The tallest point of architectural expression in Liberty Corner is 85’. The building’s exterior materials are primarily brick, glass, metal and cement-fiber panel. Brick and glass are the dominant materials. The community’s unit mix includes 96 2-bedroom units ranging from 870 sf to 1,016 SF; 80 3-bedroom units ranging from 1,107 sf to 1,273 sf; and 24 4-bedroom units ranging from 1,364 sf to 1,460 sf. The over site density is 98 units/acre. The breakdown of proposed uses and space can be found with the design package, along with parking calculations.
