The project consists of a historic redevelopment of three buildings on the south side of Franklin Blvd: a former YWCA on W 31st, a historic mansion on W32nd, and a small, 2,000 SF one-story building immediately south of the mansion, and (2) ground up multifamily construction on the north side of Franklin Blvd. The Co-Developer is working with and anticipates putting a breakfast/lunch restaurant in the small commercial building. The buildings all surround a courtyard space, which will be highly landscaped and include common area amenities.
