Green Street Redevelopment Project
A Downtown Growing
The Green Street Parking Garage reopened fall of 2022. Monthly parking passes are available for purchase from the City Chamberlain’s Office!
As part of the garage reconstruction, the parking facility now offers several new features including vehicle counters that will track the number of vehicles parked in the garage at any given time. This new electronic feature will allow people looking to park a vehicle to see how many parking spaces are available in the garage.
While neighboring construction remains active, six of the seven floors of parking are open for public use. Upon completion, a total of 334 spaces of parking will be available in the rebuilt section of the garage streets.
The other portions of the developments including two towers with housing and a conference center are expected to open later in 2022/23.

Over the next few weeks, you will see some changes in the west parking / access area. The short planter in front of city hall will be removed, the ramp and sidewalk will remain in place. The access and parking spaces will be re-arranged, and once it is generally set the team's project manager will be onsite to walk through the final placement of parking and the area will receive a temporary new surface treatment and striping. This is in preparation for drilling the pile foundations and setting a tower crane on the west side of the new building. A diagram is attached below, to be finalized by mid-April.

This project comes in combination with the Asteri Project being developed by the Vecino Group and the Ithacan Project being developed by Ithaca Properties.
The Vecino Group will develop the western and central section of the garage rebuild, while Ithaca Properties will complete the eastern section of the build.
Together, these two projects will result in the construction of two 11- story buildings, with 181 permanently affordable living units above a community conference center on the western side and 200 market-rate apartments on the eastern section.
