This architect can do decent work when they want to. Hopefully we see something nice here.
Boone Ave could be pretty cool if all of those cruddy warehouses and auto shops were replaced by housing, has to be done by the same developer so it wouldn’t look like a bunch of misfits.
This street backs up to a street full of post-fires SFH’s. It’s only a matter of time before those start getting bought up for new apartment buildings. And then we come full circle.
If the architects are competent, it’s okay for the buildings to be made by different people. The entire pre-war Bronx was a fabric of that!
