The city is springing up around us every day and it can be hard to keep track of all the busy hands working on the latest apartment complex, retail center, or events venue.
That’s where we come in to help you stay up-to-date on some of the city’s largest projects. Though a few of these developments won’t be finished until 2023 — like NuLu Crossing — they’ll be ones to watch for their community + economic impact.
