The district is looking to make a property swap with developer Carmel Partners because its administration building is in dire need of repairs. Carmel Partners is proposing to construct a five-story, 286-unit apartment building at North Jackson and North Kenwood streets on the current school district site. In the exchange, Glendale Unified would take ownership of a building about a half a mile south of its current location, which Carmel Partners plans to purchase. The existing Glendale Unified administration building, located at 223 N. Jackson St., and other structures would be demolished to make room for the new development. Winfred Roberson Jr. said approving the Carmel Partners’ project would assure the school district continues to provide excellent services to its students and their families.
