Freeman also noted neighborhood pushback regarding a fourth office building and parking garage at Waypoint (Alma School and Bass Pro Drive), where disagreements exist over building heights—with the developer entitled to construct a three-story building and three-story parking garage but neighbors preferring two-story construction. Director Jabjiniak reported that Waypoint is over 90% occupied and was sold in late 2019 at one of the highest per-square-foot prices in the region.
