With 200 housing units completed and more under construction, Philadelphia-based Pennrose is asking Hartford officials for permission to modify plans for its “Village at Park River” development in the city’s North End. The development is rising on nearly 40 acres at 1550 Albany Avenue that had housed the Westbrook Village public housing complex. The Hartford Housing Authority demolished the faltering complex to make way for redevelopment. The request to modify the master development plan is on the Hartford Planning and Zoning Commission’s Oct. 11 agenda. Under the requested changes, the development will ultimately yield 412 housing units instead of 431. Other changes include trimming 19 parking spaces, a change in landscaping plans and dropping a requirement that one building be restricted to senior residents.
