The building will make for a significant improvement to a vacant rowhouse-sized lot that sits next to alley-like Trenton Avenue and the sheer stone wall of the rail viaduct on the opposite side. The development will block views of a blue-hued abstract mural, yet the new structure will reinforce the street corner in a highly positive manner.
