For winter, spring and summer of 2013 , this will bring some noise and dust to the surrounding neighbors, but the anticipated completion date is winter of 2013/2014 and many neighbors have expressed that the new apartment project is an upgrade from the 2 one story warehouse buildings that used to be there.

The architect on the Urban Apartments project is Michael Heinrich from Orange Architects and the developer is Fenton Tenth Ave LLC.  More small apartment projects like this will be on tap for the next few years until developers can get financing for condo projects.  Keep an eye out for our next article on condo conversions.  Yes, they’ll be coming back!
