I agree. Great project, but the ground floor is missing something. Hopefully the retail signs and activity will help with that, along with lighting at night. A couple planters with bushes would have helped as well.

Very curious to see who they get as tenants. The strip of Bank south of Somerset has a pretty good mix, so hopefully they price these to attract some decent tenants.

Any word on potential tenants for the commercial space on the ground floor?

edit: didn't see the post above mine haha, but I second the question of tenants. Hoping for some decent non-chain options, but not holding my breath

FWIW, Taggart seems to price their retail bays to rent vs some other downtown landlords (cough cough CLV)

Is this building is both a rental apartment building with unit owned and managed by Taggart and a condominium with owner-occupied units? How does that work?

Is that... exposed concrete block curbs? Taking bets on the clay brick service life. Any takers?

Looks great. Value engineering done with the screens didn't have a detrimental impact on the final look.
