It isn't rising in isolation. Within a half-mile, 12 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 248 units of new supply — including the 27-unit project at 2134 Ridge Ave, the 63-unit project at 2004 Cecil B Moore Ave, the 8-unit project at 2400 W Montgomery Ave. That kind of concentration is exactly what pulls land values, and buyer attention, toward a block.
We'll update this page as the project progresses — leasing, retail tenants, renderings, and construction milestones as they surface. The relevant question for investors and agents: what are the surrounding parcels worth to a builder now that this is coming?
