![]() An apartment complex that will house up to 250 residential units may be built at the site of a vacated grocery store in Grand Junction. The Greeley-based Richmark Companies is currently engaged in discussions with City of Grand Junction officials regarding incentives to spur the project. Construction of what will be called The Junction, if it becomes reality, will solve a festering problem for a city challenged by the question of what to do with the site at 200 Rood Avenue. More than three years ago a City Market store, owned by the Kroger grocery chain, announced it was closing its outlet at the site, which occupied an entire block near the intersection of Rood and First Street. That store had been a Grand Junction mainstay since 1990. Richmark Companies, which specializes in upscale apartment housing in both Colorado and Arizona, says it could cost as much as $65 million to build the new Rood Avenue complex. The company is hoping to secure incentives to get the project underway, which could include $3.5 million in support through the city’s Downtown Development Authority. According to city documents, building plans for The Junction also include a roof top lounge, gym, swimming pool, and on-site dog park. By Garry Boulard
