This is a good project as well.

It's a, you know, I always love when the development team lives in the neighborhood.

Lincoln Restler

And in this instance, one of the two developers doesn't just live in the neighborhood, lives down the block.

And so the project that's being built here is really for the community that lives here, that works here, that spends time here.

Lincoln Restler

And the commitments around community facility space are impressive.

unit size breakers.

down of the project, so we're going to see a lot of two-bedrooms, three-bedrooms, even four-bedroom units in this project.

Lincoln Restler

It's not too many projects where we see a majority of the units are multiple-bedroom units, but that's what we have here.

I'm really excited about the shul, the mikvah, the community facilities that are going to meet the needs of the whole neighborhood.

Lincoln Restler

And so I think this is a very positive project and happy for the development team to share more insights.

Thank you, Councilmember.
