1800 Broadway, Coming Soon

Here’s a report on a new apartment project being built on Broadway and E. Grayson across from the Pearl. Work is well under way at this point. Also cool that my friend, Patrick Shearer, had a quote in the article.

A new luxury development near the Pearl

A new development that offers luxury living is moving into an area along Broadway that has seen a boom in residential construction.

Work already has started on the 1800 Broadway, a multifamily project that will become part of the redevelopment and urbanization efforts along the northern stretch of the River Walk.
