Box Works Homes includes 26 townhouse-style condominiums, with 14 affordable rate and 12 market-rate duplex units. The first units were ready for occupancy in November 2007, with construction completed in March 2008. Designed by award-winning Icon Architectural Group, the units combine a classic exterior style with modern interior amenities. Green construction features include James Hardie fiber cement siding, which is a long-wearing and environmentally friendly alternative to wood, Pella fiberglass windows, and wet-blown cellulose insulation. Sound-proofing, plaster wall finishes and wood trim evidence close attention to important details in both design and construction.
