As promised, here is Townhome city. The area under development is roughly between Pine on the east, Warner on the west, about 40th on the north and 47th on the south. There is a metric assload of these things in there, with many older (look late 60s to 80s) homes.
I see lots of residential, but failed to find any of the "mixed use". Perhaps it's yet to be built?
** this is a big update! my apologies in advance to anyone with a slow connection **
Big row of them in the distance.. there seem to be two main styles. Some of these "apartment style" blocks:
and then there are these "rowhouse" style blocks:
Lots of bold color. Not sure if I like it.
Some of the apartment style ones under construction
Looking down a block (I don't remember which street is it... Alder, I think)
Looking south down Lawrence St... a preview of what the previous block will look like an a few months
Oh man... this sign just made me
WANT to climb the fence!
Same townhomes from above. These are on Warner.
Looking west down 45th (that or 43rd) from Warner
Headed north on Warner (just up from the previous pic). I'm not 100% certain if they are a part of this huge project, but the styling and location leads me to believe they are likely connected.
Directly across the street from the surveillance sign building. Again, on Warner
Same ones. Check out the Cat. I always like getting the equipment in the scene... reminds you what it takes to build this stuff.
Exposed wires! Ok, maybe not the raw copper (or fiber optics). I think these are possibly telecommunications lines. Anyone know for sure?
From the same site. To give a little perspective on where this all is, that building high on the hill is the Apex, over by the mall.
Taken a couple of days ago over by Pine (that's the Tacoma Mall Office Building looming over them in the background). Don't know about anyone else, but these apartment style ones leave me cold.
Last one! It's an alternate rowhouse style. It's uncommon to see these kind, just the way everything is laid out, I guess.
