Strategic urban revitalization that delivers value to residents, the city, and the developer.
This 250-unit multifamily project transformed an underutilized site in a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) into a vibrant Class A community. The building’s efficient layout and unique shape maximizes the unit count. Four stories of apartments sit atop onsite parking and ground floor retail. Balancing modern style with a nod to the site’s historic importance, the design incorporates salvaged beams and reclaimed wood overhangs as well as a grand staircase and distinctive amenity spaces.
Historic Details + Modern Style
Large windows maximize natural light and offer views of the river and courtyards. Exterior elevations combine a brick base with siding to align to community-driven aesthetic goals with a cost-effective solution. Amenities include a leasing office with soaring 17-foot ceilings, a double-sided fireplace, and a rooftop event space with see-through fireplace and outdoor deck. Custom “bellied” metal fencing reflects the historic aesthetic from adjacent buildings.
Structural and Environmental Challenges
To address structural and code challenges, the design team leveraged advanced solutions for construction phasing and cost-efficient utility integration. The design reused the existing warehouse foundation and minimized soil export to reduce costs and environmental impact.
