Workers will start the demolition of Cloverdale Apartments on Monday, with new apartment buildings slated to rise on the same city blocks by the spring of 2022.
Matthew Rankin, the chief executive and president of Carlisle Residential Properties, said plans call for replacing the 160 units at Cloverdale Apartments with 220 units of new housing.
The apartments have been empty since the last tenant moved out in May 2020. When that was built in the late 40s, that was considered to be nice housing and perhaps cutting edge for the time, Rankin said. The buildings themselves and the floor plans have become functionally obsolete. They re not energy efficient.
