River's Side at Washington Square
This project consists of 26 for-sale, detached single-family homes, 4 apartments, and 1955 s.f. of ground-floor commercial retail space.
The single-family homes are comprised of three floors, with the main living space on the second floor, bedrooms on the third floor, and garage and entry on the ground floor.
The plan includes 4 affordable flats located above the retail at the corner of 3rd & C Street, with an entrance lobby off the retail plaza.
The commercial and retail component is located on the ground level at the corner with a curving south facing storefront, opening onto a generous plaza.
This development will provide the needed catalyst for increased pedestrian traffic and a space for people within the local neighborhood to gather.
