Construction Pictures

Steady Progress
Construction began [Insert here: date that the project started] when the ground was broken to start work on the foundation.  It has been a process of steady progress with exacting care taken to match the character feel of the neibourhood and match the neighboring Heritage Restoration project.

A Sneak Peak Inside and Out

Visual artists completed renditions of the exterior and interior of the Cedar Cottage Townhomes. We hope these give you an idea of what the final product will be and how nicely they will mesh with the existing restoration project next door.
