| This is the first of two 6-Story buildings under construction |
Looking Southwest from the corner of 166th & Redmond Way
Two 6-Story buildings with 1,2,3,4 room apartments
Very wide, attractive plaza between the buildings
Pedestrian friendly "Woonerf" or Living Street between the buildings.
Thousands of commercial square feet.
Use of brick material / balconies
Not an eight - nine story project.
Many positives (above), yet some negatives too: 1) brick materials but no wood 2) No explanation of Redmond history related to the project. Is this structure built on a bog, as was the downtown park? 4) No 12 - foot sidewalks with landscaping on either side. 5) Parking provided? 6) "Canyon effect" when the second building is up. 7) 3.74 acres - intense massing; 2-city blocks. 8) Art? 9) Plans to build further south someday. 10) "crowding" effect on Cleveland. 11) More than 80/20 affordable housing?

Miss the 12 ft sidewalk and veg. Cement is taking over. What will all these people do for fun? We need music, outdoor cafes, funky coffee shops.
