It is a very small plot between the two parks. Let's hope they go a little bit taller and put as many rowhouse units as possible along Atwater. Based on the deposits they've already gotten, they probably could. | ||

Lets hope they don't as the idea is to have a low to mid rise walkable community. Adding more units simply takes away from units that can be built on other land nearby. There is a finite demand for the area and the taller and denser the developments the less land gets developed and the harder it is to develop a community. | ||

100 units per acre would be ideal (ala Jane Jacobs), but the Watermark is about half that density.  Still 50/acre ain't bad. It more than most of Detroit. |
