Wow! I wonder how they will accommodate ADA access? Any new build three units and higher require one unit to be accessible.

I wonder that too. I think it's going to have no stoop, a ground floor entrance, and an elevator.

A bump out would have been nice, but I guess they have a deck instead?

129, 153, 173 Martense are done but still empty. 140 Martense is underway. Permits just filed for 131 and 150 Martense to get similar treatment.

271 Martense is underway and 221 and 223 just filed for enlargements (from 2 stories to 5 stories. )
