5 blocks — 50 units — Multifamily residential development

The balance here is between a distinctive street presence and a structure that stays buildable. The base is given weight and warmth where it meets the street, while the upper floors hold a quieter, more repetitive rhythm — a deliberate move that controls construction cost by keeping the bulk of the building simple to build. The early thinking lets a developer get the character they want on the floors that matter, without paying for complexity where it doesn't.
