While the historicist structures do feature contemporary design elements, 244-58 North 2nd Street is still one of the finest traditional-styled developments currently underway in the city.

More density would have been better for this site but this is still a major upgrade from the gas station from h_ll that was there!!
Decent buildings / infill….. why are there so many terrible proposals when it is apparently this easy to make good infill housing?!
Why would they build units with 2 car garages when transit is so close?
