Double car garage. Almost 2000 sq ft. Similar to a suburban raised ranch, but turned sideways on narrow city lot. Great infill, could use a few thousand more of these in the city.

2 more infill developments in the works, but information is not yet ready. Townhomes and SFH. I think some will have ADUs.

This one probably needs work: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/523- ... 1517_zpid/

This is a good lot, but overpriced and remains a huge disappointment: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/700- ... 6710_zpid/

Hopefully those townhomes sell quick. They seem a bit overpriced for being really close to highway noise. I want them to finish up and start on another project, because that one is a very good one. At least the rental portion probably made the financials work out easier.

My understanding is that it was a very challenging project to pull off. We have enjoyed working with them. They have done everything they promised to do, which is all you can ask.

The highway noise is probably not going to be too troublesome. Sound travels down here in odd ways.

The sound wasn't too bad. Walked by there and looked at it more, the sound benefits from that intersection of 29/70/670/35 being a mess, so traffic is always moving slow. Get MoDot to remove the Troost clover leaf right there, or plant some more trees in the middle to block more sound.

The six acres in Columbus Park around 4th and Gillis should be all rowhouses.
