Description: The Gramax Heliport building at 8060 - 13th Street was an active office building during the 1960s; however, it was an abandoned eyesore during the 1990s. RST Development has converted it into a modern apartment building with 180 units (efficiencies, one and two-bedroom units). Various financial incentives (e.g. $7.2 million in State tax credits, tax-exempt bond financing underwritten by the housing Opportunities Commission, etc) have made it possible for 70% of the apartments to be priced as affordable housing for qualified applicants.

Notes From M-NCPPC Staff Contact:
This project involved the renovation of an existing building and was therefore able to obtain the necessary building permits without the reviews required for new construction.
