City Council granted approval for the massive One Santa Fe project last week, according to viewfromaloft.
The elongated 1,570-foot long mixed-use apartment complex proposed for Metro-owned land in the Arts District would offer 440 residential units, 55,000 square-feet of retail, as well as parking for 800 cars in two separate on-site garages and much-needed streetscape improvements.
Local arts groups have highly contested the new development, citing it as having “too large of a footprint” for the community.
Senior Vice President Chuck Cowley at the MacGregor Company, the project’s developer, insists that One Santa Fe was shaped by community input and “is geared toward both MTA employees and SCI-Arc students” providing housing and neighborhood-serving retail while blending into surrounding land uses.
Construction should begin this year and is scheduled to be completed by 2010.

If they’re going to go ahead and build this, it’d be fantastic if they also extended the red/purple lines out one more station in that direction.
^ They don’t need to extend the Metro there..it’s already nearby. Just build another station.
Question Friday: Did One Santa Fe apply for reduced parking requirements? 440 units with 55K square feet of retail and ONLY 800 spaces? Which, makes me very very happy. Maybe they took into consideration that public transportation is a viable alternative.
im torn, i take santa fe as a short cut quite often!!!
