I get these are seven-figure condos, but the amount of parking for a location right next to the L is atrocious and shouldn’t be allowed.
Skinner school district. Most of these owners will have kids. They need cars.
Great project. Wish you all took a photo of the entryway arches. Magnificent masonry!
Agree the building and masonry is looking great! Currently there hasn’t been a lot of work on the arched openings, but once the brickwork begins on those we will be sure to capture it in a future update
