This isn’t newsworthy but I found it interesting to recent discover that The Meritage, the first building I bought at in 2006, cost $5.8 million to build. 47 units totaling 45,000 square feet.

Meritage Update
March 2nd, 2007 · View Comments

Meritage delayed again
February 21st, 2007 · View Comments
