An exciting new development is being considered for northeast Livingston! City commissioners are meeting on Tuesday to discuss the final rezoning of a 20-acre parcel of land. This could pave the way for a new mixed-use development called Northtown.

The proposed Northtown project would be located at North 9th Street and Scenic Trail and would bring a mix of housing and commercial space to the area. The plan includes 240 new apartments, broken down into 104 studios, 68 one-bedroom units, and 68 two-bedroom units. The apartments are planned to be spacious, with two-bedroom units at approximately 1,125 square feet, one-bedroom units at 750 square feet, and studios at 562 square feet.

In addition to the new housing, the Northtown development would also feature 12,850 square feet of commercial space. This space could be used for a variety of businesses, such as a small grocery store or a coffee shop, which would be a great addition to the neighborhood.

The project is planned to be built in three phases, with each phase consisting of three new buildings. If the rezoning is approved, the first phase could begin as early as this summer! This initial phase would include 96 apartments and all of the commercial space. The entire project is expected to be completed in five to seven years.
