"When complete Aspire will offer a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes, all market rate. The amenity rich community will also have a fitness center, yoga studio, bike storage, dog run, a rooftop garden with gas grills, picnic area and fire pits, and a community room with kitchen.
The development also has three levels of parking and 16,991 square feet of ground-level retail.
