Make way for 194 new apartments on Congress and Davenport Avenues, now that a California-based developer has won a key — and hotly contested — city approval. Thanks to the city’s inclusionary zoning ordinance, 5 percent of those apartments — or 10 units in total — will be set aside at below-market rents. The remaining units will rent out at market rates, with the developer estimating that one-bedroom apartments could cost around $2,000 to $2,300 per month. Now that the developers have won site plan approval to move ahead with the as-of-right project, they can proceed with purchasing the properties and then pulling permits to demolish the existing buildings and construct the planned new complex.
