Good evening Everyone,
The One Broadway Plaza project is being revived by owner/developer, Michael Harrah (see the attached City flyers below in English and Spanish at the end of the email).
Proposed as a 37-story office tower in 2003, the project also includes an 8-story parking garage, all located at the northeast corner of Broadway and 10th Street.
Since its entitlement in 2005 by the City, the developer has been unable to lease a sufficient portion of the 550,000 square feet of space to justify its construction.
With the boom in new apartment construction, the builder now requests the City Council allow him to convert 14 floors of office space to 327 rental apartments, to make the 550' tall tower project viable.
In 2004, and again in 2010, Citizens for Responsible Planning (CFRP), a coalition of neighbors and neighborhoods, sued the City of Santa Ana following its approval of the Environment Impact Report, prepared for the project. One of the key concerns about the project include the anticipated 6,000 daily vehicle trips, and the impacts of such on area neighborhoods. Despite the proposed changes, it is likely the project, if built, will still impact these neighborhoods.
A meeting to discuss the revised project is planned for February 19, at 6 PM, at the Original Mike's restaurant, located at the southwest corner of Main Street and 1st Street, at 100 S. Main Street.
I encourage everyone living within a 2-mile radius of the project, to attend the meeting on February 19, to learn about the revisions, and to offer your comments.
Feel free to email or call me should you have any questions. Please forward this email to your Association email list, community organizations, and individuals.
Thank you,
Jeff Dickman
