Expensive improvements but no new units means higher rents. Just what the housing shortage needs.
This site is near shopping and a park, and not far from businesses. Live, Work, Play.
So why not more housing??? This is a lost opportunity.

MPer: Sadly, once the digs are nicer, the rents will go up. We just received a rent increase notice for the coming year, before any improvements have been done.

@higher rents ahead
Would the Sharon Heights area be welcoming of more density? If not, maybe what happened to the Maybell development scared Maximum away from expanding.
It's tough to build high density housing in rich parts of town. The rich have money, lawyers, and political clout to fight back.

This place is already charging insane rents for units that haven't been renovated is ages. $3200 for a 1 bedroom? What will it be after? $5000 for a 1 bedroom, 10,000 for 2?

Town: please require some affordable below market rents in exchange for turning yet another place into luxury housing only.
