A mixed-use community with 64 residential units and 7,100 square feet of commercial appears poised for development in downtown Leesburg.
Town Council on Tuesday night unanimously approved a special exception application for the project known as South King Street, located on nearly three acres on the east side of South King Street and bordered by the W&OD Trail, Church Street and Town Branch.
The complex is being developed by Donald Knutson, one of the builders at the recently opened Crescent Place community along nearby Harrison Street.
At the South King Street site, Knutson plans to demolish seven of the eight existing structures to build four four-story buildings. Those structures will include residential living, commercial space and recreation amenities.
