MISHAWAKA — With a 7-0 vote Tuesday, the city’s Plan Commission approved the final site plan for a 78-unit apartment complex that would fill 1.62 acres at the northwest corner of Mishawaka Avenue and Main Street — the last public vote it needs to move forward.
And for the first time, project architect Scott Sivan gave an idea of what rent prices would be: ranging from $900 per month for the smallest one-bedroom unit to $1,900 for the largest, top-floor units, a sort of penthouse.
Sivan cautioned that those figures, which he termed “market rate,” could change before the developer Barak Group begins to seek tenants, which he said would begin at least a half year before construction is done.
Construction of Barak River Rock, as it would be called, could begin before summer’s end, he said.
