After completing Phase II of this development, Altman-Charter was hired to build the Phase III for McCormack Barron Salazar, a nationwide firm known for its affordable housing and market-driven residential projects in urban areas. The project is scattered on 9 different parcels and includes 126 units in 36 different buildings. It is comprised of townhomes and apartment style layouts, dubbed as “garden units”.

Funded with the use of Missouri Housing Development Commission tax credits, the development provides affordable housing for working families in the downtown area. Brick and siding were used to match the classic urban exterior architecture often found in St. Louis city. Other design features include tiered gabled roofs, awnings with supporting columns and windowed dormers.
