A new apartment complex may soon see construction in Aurora, on a site partly belonging to a shopping center on the southwest side of the city. Members of the Aurora Planning and Zoning Commission have given their unanimous approval to the construction of 311 apartment units near the intersection of S. Parker Road and E. Quincy Avenue. The site is mostly occupied by the East Bank Shopping Center, whose official address is 4100 S. Parker Road. Built in 1981, the shopping center in recent years has suffered a loss of tenants. As proposed by the Evergreen Development Company of Denver, the new apartment complex would be built on a portion of the retail site, while leaving the rest of the shopping center intact. The commission approved the project, even though many nearby residents expressed concerns about the potential traffic impact of the new complex. Those residents may appeal the commission decision in an upcoming meeting of the Aurora City Council. Specializing in multifamily projects in Arizona, California, and Colorado, Evergreen Development has also been involved in the redevelopment of distressed retail spaces. The company is currently in the process of building 300 new apartment units at a site in Colorado Springs that was once the home to a Sears department store. By Garry Boulard
