The program for this unique urban community is centered on the integration of greenways to connect the buildings to the neighborhood and provide safe and interesting passage throughout the development. The complex of 147 townhouses and condominiums exists within a pedestrian-friendly framework of tree-lined public streets, beautifully landscaped greenways and three strategically placed neighborhood parks. Patterned after vintage Chicago styles and utilizing human-scaled materials and varying rooflines, the architecture bespeaks both respect for the past and anticipation for the future. Gracefully delineated, the buildings turn the corner and form interesting outdoor spaces anchored by expressive round turret bays. Highly articulated entries of masonry and stone, articulated stone accents, brick cornice detailing, brick arches, patterned Flemish bond accents and corbelled bays are stylishly employed to evoke and reinterpret the rich architectural heritage of the community.
