After years of delays and postponements, ground has finally been broken on a 453-unit apartment and mixed use complex at Seventh and 16th streets. The project has been floating around since 2003, received its first rounds of designs in 2006 and has faced ground contamination issues and the sale of original developer Archstone to Equity Residential.
