Elements of these historical buildings have been re-used to help retain the historic fabric of downtown. In total, the new buildings have more than 24,000 square feet of commercial space available.

The 11-story Bitting Building has 66 apartments ranging from a 440-square-foot studio to a nearly 1,200-square-foot unit. The nine-story Exchange Place building includes 139 apartments ranging from 450 square feet for a studio to 1,300 square feet for a two-bedroom, two-bath unit. The new seven-story building contains 35 apartments in addition to a parking garage for residents of the Bitting Building and Exchange Place. Resident amenities include a rooftop deck with a reflection pool, grills, an outdoor kitchen, fire pits, a dog park and a pet washing station. The apartments feature quartz countertops, oversized stainless kitchen sinks, stainless steel appliances, washers and dryers.
