Not a glamorous looking building based on the render - think; functional. Definitely presents as a made-for-rent based on other stepped-up offerings for sale in DTK. So much potential, could have done a really nice glass tower, complementing the podium and Arrow I next door.

A glass tower wouldn't really complement the Arrow Lofts building. More red brick and black trim might have been nice, though.

Based on Arrow Lofts and Barrel Yards, though, I do expect this one to be quite nicely finished on the inside, including the common areas.

Glass coming out/over red brick/black podium could have worked. Just like they'll do in Glove Box (but smaller commercial scale)

Yes, it is. Auburn mostly develops rental properties (as does Vive) rather than condo buildings.

Thanks Spokes!

I actually have a photo-a-day* starting from before they broke ground that I'm figuring out how to turn into a time-lapse. If it's appropriate for the forum I can post it here.

* Not exactly 1 per day, but a lot of them.

That would be fantastic!  Looking forward to seeing it

That'll be too massive to upload - I have trouble with single hi res pics even. Maybe throw it onto YouTube? Could even put some Oktoberfest music in the background hahah

Good shot.  It's nice to see some rebar in there, it means progress.  After last night's drifts and tomorrow's snow I can imagine how fun it will be to clean that out before placing concrete...

P.S. you can see the green walls of the first floor of Barra Tower in the background

I wonder what will become of the walk ups that face Courtland. I always thought they would look really good if they were completely renovated both inside and out...

You and me both.  Im a huge fan of brownstones in general and I think these have a ton of potential.

Those are individually owned, it's not a condo corporation (or a rental) so it would be pretty challenging for anyone to take on a total renovation project there.
