New apartments and townhomes are coming to Buena Park after city councilors voted unanimously June 27 to approve a new multifaceted housing project during a lengthy public hearing.
Five- to seven-story tall buildings with studio to three-bedroom apartments will replace both a shuttered Sears department store and auto center on the corner of La Palma and Stanton avenues, along with three-story townhomes featuring two and three bedrooms and two-car garages.
The re-development, now being called “The Village,” will offer 126 townhomes for sale and 1,176 apartments for rent.
A one-acre park will also be built, and a nearby weekly farmers market will be allowed to continue, according to Jamas Gwilliam with project developer Merlone Geier Partners….
