GAINESVILLE – Two parcels at opposite ends of the massive Mundy Mill mixed use development likely will be exchanging zoning designations after receiving a unanimous recommendation for approval Tuesday evening from the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board.
The 605-acre development along Mundy Mill Road was originally approved in 2004 for 1148 single-family homes, 1235 condominiums, townhomes and apartments, over 800,000-square feet of office/warehouse space, 885,000-square feet of commercial/retail space and an elementary school.
Developer Scott Stringer has applied with the City of Gainesville for rezoning that would allow him to construct three hundred multi-family apartments currently approved for Pod E (a 17.25-acre tract at the most eastern edge of the complex), on a 17-plus acre site on the western edge of the complex (Pod I). Both pods are owned by Butler Property, LLC.
GAINESVILLE – Will 2021 be the type of year that leaders in Gainesville and Hall County were hoping 2020 was going to be, at least in the areas of growth and new construction?
“I think back to the beginning of 2020, and one of the things that we talked about internally was that this was going to be the year of construction,” Gainesville Community and Economic Development Director Rusty Ligon said during a telephone interview last week.
“We had a lot of projects that had been approved…so we thought we were going to see a lot of construction in 2020…then COVID-19 hit in March, and I can honestly say that I thought several of these projects may not happen at all,” Ligon continued. “I was very nervous about what was going on.”
