Buildings approved for New Sisters Village

Three new mixed-use buildings with offices on the first floor and lofts above have been approved for New Sisters Village. The development is bordered by old McKenzie Highway and Hood Avenue next to Pine Meadow Ranch.

Last Thursday, developer Steve McGhehey requested a Site Design Review from the Sisters Area Planning Commissioners. They voted unanimously to approve the buildings with the condition that the architectural designs be revised to more accurately reflect Sisters Western frontier design theme.

Sisters' code requires buildings to incorporate design elements of the 1880s.

Planning Director Brian Rankin will review the revised designs before building permits are issued.

Two buildings will have approximately 3,000 square feet for office space on the first floor with 1,200 square feet above for apartments. The footprint of the third building will be a little larger at 3,450 square feet.
