  1. Great for Kelli, her degree from BSU CAP, and being an urban planner with Carmel speaks for itself! I can only hope she can move her architectural styles into the modern 21st Century, and not continue living in the past, with styles of the last 500+ years. Time to move it forward! Good luck!

  2. O+E is putting some great projects on small lots, but all of their projects are townhouses, which means 3 or 4 floors up and down. They target people with young knees and no fear of stairs.

    Especially closer to downtown, I wish they could come up with flat type condo development where a unit is all on one level and the building has elevators.
