Story
The Aster Town Center is an updated version of the typical three-story walk-up that addresses the issues of today’s developments and renters. The building creates a strong corner presence, which allows it to work well in today’s walkable communities. Entry stoops to ground floor terraces, and steps leading to the stair elements enable the buildings to be brought close to the sidewalk and the street, creating a greater sense of community. Parking is mainly hidden within the building groupings allowing the buildings to front onto streets. Apartment home configurations are wider and shallower to allow more light to reach all parts of the unit, but are lower in total square footage to keep rents affordable for today’s cost-conscience renter. All of this designed within the basic platform of the most delivered apartment type in the nation.
