On March 21, 2011 the project application was filed with the City of Lafayette. The description of the proposed project is as follows:
Terraces of Lafayette, a proposed community of 315 luxury apartments, will bring much-needed rental housing to the City of Lafayette. Located on the site of a former rock quarry, Terraces of Lafayette takes advantage of an isolated, vacant parcel of land currently under private ownership by the Dettmer Family Trust. Proposed by The O’Brien Land Company LLC, Terraces of Lafayette will aesthetically enhance the site and bring numerous community benefits to the people of Lafayette.
