The fourth- and fifth-floor penthouses at
Willys Overland Lofts
have been framed in. Bob Slattery of Midtown Development says that the
windows will be installed over the next few months and balconies in
approximately four. Garages are being constructed and roof and interior
wall work has commenced.
Willys includes 15 penthouse units, 60
units in the existing building and 7,000 square feet of potential
commercial space that fronts Willis just west of Avalon Bakery.
Slattery
points out that, within just a few blocks of Willys, there are almost
120 planned residential units. While this large number may mean slower
initial sales for any one development, he says that, for the “overall
health of the neighborhood, it signals strong continuation.”
Phase
2 of Willys will develop the 52,000 square-foot Canfield-facing portion
of the building. Slattery says the mixture of commercial to residential
for that phase will be determined by sales in the first.
