Re: Nicholas Apartments (12th & Nicholas)

Really like the look of this. Also looks like no dedicated parking in this structure, but they are going to get 120 stalls in a garage next door to the north. I would assume that would break ground fairly soon too as Millwork is building up. The Dizzy Mule project right across the street is mostly t...
