Roof trusses are on!



Picture one is taken from the construction trailer. This is what the apartments will look like from the new Bertner Avenue. The two rectangles that protrude slightly from the building are architectural elements. The apartments will not jut out into that space. The windows are in the bedrooms. The green building is the community room/office. You can see the entrance door. The furthest right window is the office window. Picture three is another view of the apartment building from the first picture. You can see the roof trusses on top. You can also see the east windows of the green building. (Of course, you realize that the building will not be the color green when finished!) The last picture shows the courtyard area and both apartment buildings. Way in the background is the green building. (Don't forget that you can get full screen versions by clicking on the small pictures.)
