It’s been about a year since we checked in on Queen’s Walk, a sixteen-home development at 5th & Montrose that was built to sell, but ended up as rentals in the end. These homes were built where a dessert-topping manufacturer once stood, and across the street from where several blocks of PHA homes continue to stand.

The homes

Homes on Montrose

Looking at the renderings of this project from architects JKR Partners, it looked as though the fenced-in area next to the drive-aisle would be a green space for residents of the homes. Turns out that this is not the case at all.

Green in the corner

Earlier this month, QVNA (and the ZBA the next day) approved a project to construct three additional homes at the corner of 5th & Montrose. We confess we weren’t at the meeting or the hearing, so can someone who was fill us in on the details? We’re guessing that the homes will front Montrose, and the application indicates that they will have garages. Will they simply represent three additional homes to complete the Queen’s Walk development? Or will they stand alone as an independent project, from a different developer?

Either way, it certainly indicates that development in Queen Village is continuing to plow along, no matter the location in the neighborhood.
