Princeton Holdings is in negotiations to purchase a site next to the former Rheingold Beer brewery for $34 million.
The warehouse at 95 Evergreen Avenue is currently zoned for manufacturing use, though Princeton could apply for a variance allowing residential development. Read Property, who owns the Rheingold site, secured a similar rezoning that paved the way for a planned 977 apartment units.
Such a change requires City Council approval, which Read secured by agreeing to set aside 30 percent of the planned units as affordable.
