Small, sloping infill site yields 22 luxury units

Article Abstract:

Conner development's decision to develop infill lands is paying off. Their Lake Pointe project at Mercer Island, WA, had initially required extensive shoring and moving huge amounts of dirt from the site but the fast sales of the units built on the property made up for that. The company designed the homes to cater to Mercer Island's high-income population. Standard features included lake-view decks near the dining/kitchen areas and penthouses with decks accessible to the master bedroom.
