SGW Architecture & Design created this scheme using a varied selection of masonry. The facade will also come with elements such as the uninterrupted vertical window strip, textured spandrels and red accents surrounding the retail component provide an eye-catching final look. Additionally, some units will be lined with overhanging balconies.

What a blown opportunity this was. An 8-10 story mid-rise with double the units and a traditional brick facade would have been amazing here. These mashups are dated the moment they’re completed and the scale is wanting by today’s standards, especially considering the amount of demand for housing in an area like this.
This is a crime scene.
Looks cheap, like something you’d see in Denver or Milwaukee. Not good.
