The Benchmark Group’s yearlong
construction project on the parking lot at 766 Elmwood Ave., between Globe
Market and 7-Eleven, is set to be complete by summer of 2015. The project, which
began over the summer, consists of a three-story building with a first floor
retail space and two floors of apartments. Rent for the apartment spaces will
range from $1,400 to $1,500. Businesses to fill the retail space have yet to be
announced. There will be 24 private parking spaces underneath the building for
tenants of the apartments. Karl Frizlen, project architect,
said it is currently 25 percent complete. By Andrea Chevalier and Lucy Lopez
