So many transformative projects!
As for Bartram's Village. I'd love to see usable roofs for the townhouses. Like roof decks. Or even green roofs rather than the pitched roofs they're adding. I guess that would be cost prohibitive.
I'm thinking they were having problems with the flat roofs that prompted these renovations.
Good to see a makeover tho. All the renderings, it, in the end, comes down to materials/quality.
