The new mixed-used buildings include apartment style student housing for graduate students and married students with families. The buildings feature retail space on the first floor and also offer off-street parking in a garage adjacent to the East building.
The project has transformed the once vacant lots and abandoned buildings into a thriving urban setting for graduate students within walking distance to the RPI campus.
