Tree-lined streets, peaceful parks and gracious Northwest-inspired dwellings energize the community. The project involved complete removal, deconstruction and/or demolition of the existing infrastructure and 10 residential buildings. New roadway construction was part of the project. Thirteen new two- and three-story buildings feature a combination of flats and townhouses.
