Building The Missing Middle

With Raindrop Plaza complete, it’s finally time for landscaping at Rhodes! Split into two phases to help with costs, Phase 1 was fencing in the main floor unit courtyard and front yard planting. A hedge of yews line the sidewalk for privacy, with various low maintenance grasses and plants filing in the yard. Up next: A curved custom address sign will close in the corner and the same yews and ground cover will continue down the side to the back of the property. Now some patience for everything to grow!

It’s occupied!! Here’s a glimpse of the completed Rhodes 4-plex! A few loose ends to work through, including final landscaping which likely won’t be until next year once Raindrop Plaza is complete, but its exciting to share that residents have moved in! Click below to see photos of the rental units (taken a few months ago) and floor plans of the building.
