For a project that has had its ups and downs over the past 15 years, serious progress was made this week with more residences, retail and now bioscience labs getting approvals for the former Veterans Memorial Coliseum site. That $76 million plan, labeled phase 1A, was tweaked Wednesday at the City Plan Commission meeting, but its major features of 200 housing units, some 25,000 square feet of public open space and a plaza along a retail laneway remain. For phase 1B, the commissioners approved 120 apartments that will wrap a 657-space garage on two sides. A separate life-science building, which originally had a later timeline, was approved in phase 1C. A consortium of Spinnaker Real Estate Partners, the Fieber Group and KDP, which got city approval in 2019, is building phases 1A and 1B.
