The project includes 168 units, community rooms, laundry and maintenance rooms and management offices. The transit-oriented development was planned to offer the maximum number of townhouses. Fourteen townhomes serve as a medium density buffer of for-sale housing between high-density Mandela Gateway and an historic neighborhood. The five-acre project site features 16,000-square-feet of retail space along 7th Street, providing needed community services while serving to screen the parking from view.
