Anyway I am suprised nobody has posted this yet.

I think its great that finally there will be something of good height on mountian south of the Linc.
I noticed the foundation being prepared a couple weeks back and wondered what was being built here. I'm relieved it is an apartment building and not a gas station or fast food drive-thru.

Judging by the layout of the foundation it won't be set back from the street. The size of the lot really wouldn't allow for a set back of any significance anyway.

This is a great example of proper infill intensification for the mountain. Hopefully we'll see much more of it. Kudos for Valery for doing a development like this.
