Two 9 unit buildings will go up (total 18) each 4 stories tall. All signs point towards them being rental units, since that is something in the current developers wheelhouse.
I for one am excited to see this since I live near there and for the last few months it's just been an empty lot. I think they finished the demo around Jan. of this year. As far as the house goes, it was beyond repair and had signs of neglect that ran deep. Large open hole in the roof for half of a winter. The lot was demo'd but no additional permits were pulled, I thought it might be sitting on the market as a developer waited to flip it to another developer good to know it's not.
Does anyone know anything about this builders type of development? Will I be walking past neat buildings or walking down a different block because of a lack of design sense?
