A bit plain, but great density. I’m glad the True Value was able to remain in the neighborhood (former resident here).
120 units with only 14 parking spaces is fantastic. plus all the parking is underground. Decent looking design with lots of retail. I rate this 7.5-8/10. Great infill.
Has anyone looked at the website and reviewed the apartment plans? Many of the bedrooms are without windows. The living rooms look like cell blocks. Draper & Kramer? What happened to the humanist buildings of Loebl Schlossman Bennett and Dart and others your company erected post-war where livability drove the design. This building isn’t worthy of any note or rating.
