Two prospective developers — both described by city officials as well-qualified — made presentations this week at a community Zoom meeting hosted by the city and Fair Haven Alder Sarah Miller, D-14. The two presentations were similar in some ways but offered a number of stylistic differences. The Glendower plan, presented by Glendower and Elm City Communities President Karen DuBois-Walton and Executive Vice President Shenae Draughn, included 32 new housing units, several third floor artists live/work spaces, several second floor community spaces such as conference and meeting rooms, a possible fitness studio or recording studio and ground floor retail and small business space. The Pennrose plan, presented by Boston office developer Karmen Cheung, would preserve the original school school building as affordable housing and live/work artists space and create an LGBTQ-friendly, 100 percent affordable rental development.
