The 137-unit apartment building will have two levels of underground parking. What to Expect This Month: Concrete work will continue at the West & South sides of the project. Drywall is nearly complete on the 1st floor. Cabinets and flooring are being installed on the 1st floor. Finishes are scheduled to be installed in the common areas this month. Pavers and the egress path are currently being placed at the rooftop amenity. Landscaping should begin this month around the perimeter of the building. Our Community is Enjoying the Sunshine!
