If given the Stellar designation, one portion of the project will be Upper Story Housing in Center City. Just imagine...Waking up every morning with everything you need at your doorstep. Watching the sunrise from your balcony. Grabbing breakfast at the cafe down the street. Walking to work. Jogging to the gym. Biking on the Cardinal Greenway Trail. Enjoying public art. Shopping at unique, local stores. Joining friends and neighbors for live music and locally brewed beer. Purchasing locally grown foods at the farmers’ market.
