Dukes at City View popped up on Redfin today. Looks like they’ve sold 3 of 8 already. Going for a respectable 1.27-1.33 mil

I missed the update from the previous all white rendering. Looks much better and higher quality with some color variation.

Given that they are across the street from The Fairweather, they are sadly ordinary in design. I would have rather seen something more contemporary here like the ones next to Transfer Co. or the ones on St. Mary’s street.

I think these are pretty attractive! Better than the ones across West. Though I am on the record as not particularly liking “contemporary” residential design - it’s like modernism without the restraint. Just haphazard shapes and materials thrown together.
Either way, at street level they just face the big grass hill and grey parking podium of the Fairweather, so not much to pick up on without looking up.
Sorry but that extra brick will cost you another 100 grand.

Hopefully this was just a snafu of only looking at 2D elevations… But my hope dissolves realizing this rendering is public and the builder certainly reviewed it

At this point, rezone it for whatever they want and let’s get moving. Hopefully someone commits to building something. That hole brings down the entire area.

8 guys to push the wall up. How many to push it back down again? I feel like for the price point, these should be steel beams with concrete.
