Senior Center, Condos Rising Higher

The second story of "The Monarch" is now under construction at 400 East Front Street. The ground floor will be the site of a new senior center and there will be three stories of market-rate condos above it.

Here's the west side of the building, which will have 63 condos and a roof garden accessible both to seniors and condo residents.

Here's the Front Street facade. The developer, Dornoch Holdings, gained city permission to use a vacant, city-owned lot across the street to house a sales trailer, but as of last week the trailer was not yet in place. The project is scheduled for completion in 2008.
