All studio units (571 square feet) are "sold out". As a point of comparison, a 710-square-foot 1-bedroom unit will set you back $1,575 per month. Yikes!

Eight of the existing houses would be renovated, with one moved to a different area of the property and three moved to lots on East Gorham Street and potentially East Dayton Street. The remaining five houses on the property would be renovated and rented out as apartments.
Three houses would be demolished, and in place of the demolished and moved buildings, Houden would build two three-story buildings, providing 58 apartments. Those new buildings would have first-floor retail space and underground parking, and would provide a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom units.

The Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association council had voted against supporting the plans, though some residents had voiced their support. Ledell Zellers, alder for the district, wrote a letter in opposition to the project.
“I really wish that they had had some smaller buildings, more green space, that the density wasn’t as high,” Patty Prime, president of TLNA, said before the meeting. “Given where they started, they have made a lot of positive changes. But it's still a very big development.”
