The proposed conceptual residential midrise explores the redevelopment of an existing surface parking lot located directly behind a church into a higher-density housing opportunity. The project studies the potential for a thoughtfully scaled multifamily building that supports residential growth while maintaining a respectful relationship to the existing church campus and surrounding neighborhood context. Key considerations include building massing, unit layout efficiency, parking replacement strategies, pedestrian access, service access, open space, views, privacy, life safety, and compatibility with adjacent uses. The concept may include ground-level amenities, residential lobby space, structured or integrated parking, landscaped areas, and improved circulation between the new development and the existing church property. The design approach focuses on transforming underutilized land into a productive residential asset while preserving the church’s operational needs and civic presence. Overall, the project establishes a framework for a balanced, context-sensitive midrise development that supports housing, walkability, and long-term site value.
