Attainable Housing

OSD breaks ground on South Cato Springs, a 230-acre development for neurodivergent adults in Arkansas.

Reno, Nevada–based CHPlanning, and the city revolves around whether zoning will permit the project. Juxtaposed with low-rise buildings in the neighborhood, the massive scale of the tower sticks out. The site is currently zoned for small-scale neighborhood commercial use and is home to a small garden center. The tower is also within the Sunset Chinese Cultural District, which, in theory, allows city departments to provide resources for cultural communities that are threatened by displacement.

The project’s future remains uncertain as the developers may continue to make adjustments to proposed designs and appeal to Planning Department decisions, though the project is still far from approval. CW
