Beyond the West Village, in a residential “horseshoe” the plan is to create hip, informal, and affordable spaces to live and work. Lofts and open floor plans, as well as private outdoor areas will define these spaces, which may take the form of townhouses, or duplexes, or even flats above commercial space.

Good prior examples of such projects by the developer are Porter Street Flats in Richmond’s Old Manchester district, where each condominium featured two bedrooms, two baths, and two huge porches.
