City commissioners have advanced an ordinance to rezone K-State’s Unger Complex from a business commercial district to high-density residential, following a contentious meeting Tuesday evening with neighboring residents.
The decision paves the way for the building to be converted into apartments for middle- to moderate-income people.
K-State intends to sell the property at 2323 Anderson Ave. and is in negotiations with Fred Merrill Jr. and Jake Mooney, co-applicants with Unger Housing, LLC. The applicants are planning to repurpose the building into workforce housing, with 106 planned units.
