Goldberg declined to identify the developer, saying she felt it would be better to wait until the deal was completed.

The changing housing market presented a challenge to the city in creating affordable housing options that would be attractive enough to buyers, but still provide enough return on investment to make the project worth developing.

Goldberg made clear that the Grant Street Village project was private and not sponsored by the city. The city, however, monitors such things as building permits and whether developers are following the city code, such as affordable housing requirements.
