The Edina Housing Foundation presented three preliminary housing development options for the West 76th Street property. Option 1 consists of five sets of 4-unit two-story townhomes. Option 2 includes a four-story apartment building with 45-50 units plus three sets of 4-unit two-story townhomes. Option 3 is the densest proposal, featuring both three and four-story apartment buildings. City Council members provided feedback on the proposals and requested additional information before proceeding. The foundation must request control of the site from the city, and the land acquisition cost has not yet been determined.
