The project is just finishing up with the framing, but it'll be complete enough that you can walk through the floors & see the shared courtyard and the view from the roof decks.

One Corner Two Houses

The city is studying new legislation to regulate development on small single family infill lots.  Thus far the discussion has centered around neighborhood groups proposals to dramatically limit the size of such projects, and developers attempts to create new rules that would dramatically increase the number of potential sites for such projects.  Jim Burton and I have an opinion piece in Crosscut today laying out a new idea that we hope can address the concerns of both camps while providing infill that actually improves the fabric of neighborhoods.
