Parking at New Downtown Apartments to Depend on Transit Center
Developer Fairmount Properties plans to use PARTA's Kent Central Gateway for parking for residents, patrons at new "Building C."
People looking to live in downtown Kent's newest apartment building will have to park in PARTA's new Kent Central Gateway transit center.
The site plan submitted to the city for Fairmount Properties' Building C, which will be built at the corner of Erie and South DePeyster streets, shows the building's tenants will most likely have to park in the new deck under construction on the opposite corner of the same intersection.
A site plan for the building presented this month to the Kent Architectural Review Board shows no parking on site.
