Always nice to read about development outside the vertical suburbs of downtown/midtown.

“We are trying to do affordable housing that has an upscale feel about it, and art does that, and art adds things to the community at large also,” said N'Namdi, who owns the N'Namdi Center for Contemporary Art and is developing a similar art-infused apartment building in the city's Woodbridge neighborhood called Osi Art Apartments.

All 38 residences at Sawyer Art Apartments will be offered at reduced rents for those making 60% and 80% of the area median income, generally between $34,000 and $45,000. Those asking rents would start at about $750 per month for a studio apartment, $800 for a one-bedroom and $1,278 for a two bedroom.

Additionally, the four retail spaces in the 33,000-square-foot building will be offered at reduced leasing rates.
