KINGSTON – Construction on the Kingstonian project in the City of Kingston is expected to begin in the months ahead now that the city planning board has granted final site plan approval for the large-scale project.
“The project was what we needed in 2016, and what we need now more than ever,” said Mayor Steven Noble. “For over a decade the site has remained vacant, with the city looking for developers in 2008, 2013 and 2016.”
He said the Kingstonian developers came through with a mixed-use plan to include retail and restaurant space, 129 market rate apartments with 14 units of affordable apartments, and a 32-room hotel, 420-space parking garage, open-air plaza, and an ADA compliant pedestrian bridge that will connect to the Kingston Plaza over Schwenk Drive.
Noble said the Kingstonian is “the best project for the community at exactly the right time for our Uptown Business District.”
