The development by Canterbury Enterprises LLC of 40 affordable rental units is going up at 6220 Old Warwick Road, across the street from the grounds of a former church that the city plans to transform into a recreation center and park. Each unit will have three bedrooms and an average of 1,450 square feet. Ten units will be accessible for persons with disabilities. The townhouse development is expected to be completed by December.
