own Commons, when completed, will consist of 420 dwelling units, including single-family homes, townhouses, rental apartments, and an assisted living housing center for senior citizens. Retail space of 13,000 square feet will be constructed at the entrance with apartment units above on the second and third floors. In addition, a community center will serve the people of the neighborhood as well as the residents of surrounding neighborhoods.
