Something odd is going on with this particular development. This project has been stalled at substantially complete for several years, and construction on it kept starting and stopping with numerous stop work orders. I would be hesitant to be in the first wave of tenants occupying it as I am sure there will be substantial defects that will quickly show.
It’s also ugly AF
It is kind of ugly – but the most important part is that it is bringing more people into that neighborhood who have disposable income
None Of This IS AFFORDABLE!!
Yes yes i like it Thank you
