Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture is behind the design of the second phase, meant to complement the design of its nearly 100-year-old Phase I neighbor. The exterior provides a sleek reinterpretation of the classic loft style, with warehouse-inspired windows, brick on the first five floors, and metal paneling on the remaining two floors. Throughout the exterior are also black metal accents that further add to the texture of the facade. The rooftop and interior portions offer an eclectic mix of decoration and furnishings.

I Can’t believe the rents are so inexpensive considering you have access to basically everything you could want nearby. I can’t believe they built this so short also.
