What is the 4211 Newton project?

A 21-story, 240-foot tower proposed by M&A Development with 200 units and a 266-car garage in the MF-2 zoned SOHIP neighborhood.

MF-2 zoning under PD-193 limits buildings to 45 feet and is intended for walk-up apartments, townhomes, and small condos.

Why does the tower require a zoning change?

The site is zoned MF-2 with a 45-foot height limit. The proposed tower jumps to 240 feet—requiring substantial zoning changes.

How can I oppose the project?

Email Melissa Kingston, Paul Ridley, and the Oak Lawn Committee. Attend the Dec 2 and Dec 3 neighborhood meetings.

MF-2 zoning protects the scale and character of SOHIP — the starter-home neighborhood 6,000 of us call home. A developer wants to build a 21-story, 240-foot tower at 4211 Newton Ave, right in the middle of our homes. We welcome development that follows the rules. This doesn't. The Oak Lawn Committee hears this case March 3. Here's how to get involved.
