A $6 million 40-unit apartment complex to house those with substance-abuse and mental-health disorders will start construction next year with a 2016 opening date.

The project’s designs received approval Tuesday from the city’s Design Review Committee, but not everyone is pleased with the plans for the building on the North Side at the site of the former Martin Luther King Elementary School.
