201 Highland Avenue Redevelopment
Summary
The city's old City Hall and police headquarters site is one step closer to becoming a mixed-use development. Gotham's plan — 367 apartments including 147 affordable, a public park on the pond, and $5.5 million for the land — beat out Stanbury's smaller, cheaper proposal. Commissioners want less density and senior-dedicated affordable units before any deal is signed.

Impact analysis
Gotham would pay $5.5 million for the site, and the sale value could help offset the cost of relocating the police department — a move that's coming either way, with $15.2 million in repairs already identified at the current building.
Residents get a new public park, affordable childcare-oriented retail, and housing near Highland Recreation — plus the city pockets $5.5 million toward a much-needed police station move.
Neighbors across the pond worry about four-story buildings, traffic, and pickleball noise — and some commissioners worry 367 units is simply too much for the site.
