I attended several meetings about this development, and if my memory serves me correctly, the buildings are completely separate - no connection to the apartment in behind. And I believe they will each be duplex style units, 2 homes in each building.

If this is the case, this is nuts. (IMO) Like Momo28 said, that's not too ideal to live in.

I think the goal is to provide as many residential units as possible. 

Looking at the shadows on the renders, I think Melissa may be right and the houses do not connect to the new building. But whether connected or not, there certainly is not going to be any back yard to those houses. But is it really much worse than a unit in the main building? I do expect that they'll find people happy to live in those, as long as the prices are right.
