Founders Station is a mixed use project developed by Orchestra Partners and built by Creature. This unique project consists of 18 residential units (a mix of studios, one, and two bedrooms) and a retail plaza that became a connector between 1st Avenue North and Morris Avenue.
Delivered in August of 2018, the residential units were some of the first new construction downtown residents brought to market in over 10 years and they were wildly successful with a very quick sellout. Laurel McKissack and I recently listed a one bedroom resell in the building that my buyer put under contract on the first day, proving the continued high demand for this product and location.
The retail plaza has had some turnover since inception, but has also produced a few of our favorite downtown staples such as The Essential, Cayo Coco, and the Pilcrow Cocktail Bar.
Overall, the project was a picture of success in the adaptive reuse of three, late 1800’s buildings into a compelling modern, mixed use development on an important downtown block.
