700 Raymond Project Advances

Construction Continues on our new project - 700 Raymond Ave.

In spite of all the rain, we're making progress on the excavation of the storm water runoff pond and the parking lot. The window openings for the high windows is being done and the utilities are being installed from the street.

Sometimes the project looks worse before it looks better. There is a LOT of mud this week, but once the parking lot is complete, people will be able to see how the building will work.

And the windows will be amazing! There will be over 30 monitor style windows on each side of the building, letting in so much natural light, our building will definitely save energy on lighting.

Developments continue in Raymond/University Despite COVID

More apartments are planned for 2225 University Avenue (next to the McDonald's) This is the former site of Paster Enterprises office building. We are excited to see more density for the neighborhood and more residents to support our local restaurants and retail.

Love The Chromazone murals!

This is one of my favorite murals by artist Chuck U. It's painted on 2290 Wycliff, close to my office. The Creative Enterprise Zone did a great job with the mural fest! It makes the neighborhood feel more vibrant. So much is happening here, but sometimes we fly under the radar. I've always felt that the people in the Creative Enterprise Zone knew we had a lot going on, but now we have visual proof! It will be fun to see what the CEZ comes up with next.

Platform Apartments Really Taking Shape!

The construction site is very busy at University and Hampden where the Platform Apartments are under construction. This is going to be a great addition to the neighborhood - replacing two blighted buildings - turning the corner into a beautiful place to live. A roof top patio will be a great amenity, as will the underground parking lot. We are excited for our new neighbors to move in this fall. St. Anthony Park is really growing - adding many new neighbors close to University. Hopefully this development will bring a new restaurant!
