Since YIMBY’s last article on the project, the previously occupying one-story masonry building has been completely cleared, with site preparation in the early stages. Full construction permits have now been issued, indicating a reported cost of $20 million. Maris Construction Corporation will serve as the general contractor, with work expected to complete by the first quarter of 2022.

More of this, please… in varying sizes and brick colors, it’d fit in almost any neighborhood. Hopefully turns out like the renderings!
Love the arched brick entries and the stepped cornice. Finally something unique and appealing. This is great
Beautiful building. The details are going to make or break this project design wise.
