All units at the redeveloped 6-family building at 5885 Nina Place have been sold and the building is fully owner-occupied. Because of substantial deterioration, a building on Kingsbury was demolished this summer.
It was directly behind the McPherson Community Garden. Amrit Gill, of 61xx Westminster, purchased the 6-family next door and is renovating it as rental property.
The building with balconies across the street on Kingsbury will also face the wrecking ball. Its third floor collapsed, making any renovation far more difficult. and expensive.
However, 5999 Nina Place will be renovated by a local developer in the near future. Various plans for the now empty space on Nina and Kingsbury include a small park, an orchard, or possible in-fill, housing.
