The design team used the flexibility of prefabricated systems to bridge the district’s historic aesthetic with contemporary expectations. The exterior features thin brick and acid etch finishes, with a mix formulated to complement the surrounding environment, along with a detailed cornice element that elevates the development’s street presence. In some units, concrete was left exposed providing a unique feature that stands apart from the rest.

The development reflects how thoughtful planning and reliable prefabricated systems can reinforce the fabric of a neighborhood. By bringing together heritage, performance, and efficiency, the space delivers a durable living environment that will serve residents for years to come. “Precast concrete is sturdy, durable and can be manufactured in virtually any color and finish. When comparing total project life-cycle costs versus project build only cost, the decision was easy, low life cycle maintenance costs for the precast structure.”
