Developer abandons plans to build 500-unit dorm in Bellingham's Puget neighborhood
A dormitory complex for about 500 college students proposed for Puget neighborhood will not be built, the developer said in an email to the city Planning and Community Development Department.
The development called University Ridge - four buildings with up to 528 bedrooms on what is now 11 forested acres at 4413 Consolidation Ave. - received approval from the city hearing examiner in October, but it was the hearing examiner's ruling that caused Ambling University Development Group of Georgia to back out.
