Parcel is ‘severely constrained’ for commercial development

A 72-unit multifamily residential development is now planned for a 5-acre infill site located at the northeast corner of 87th and Northern avenues.

The parcel is about a half mile from the Peoria Crossing shopping area, anchored by big-box retailer Target.

Peoria City Council recently approved a minor general plan amendment and rezoning to facilitate the development of the project by Northern Ave Properties LLC.

The project will be comprised of five two-story buildings — 48 one-bedroom units and 24 two-bedroom units.

The site is one of several long and narrow infill parcels along Northern Avenue. At roughly 5 acres, it is unusually long and narrow — 166 feet wide by 1,214 feet long — with limited frontage along Northern Avenu
