The 1980’s

Construction of townhouse units and condominium buildings boomed during the 1980’s.  In Stone Harbor, the increase was driven by a pending change in zoning.  In Avalon, land along the bay zoned for marina use was developed with multi-unit complexes.

Many of the larger buildings have been upgraded with maintenance free siding and decks- often incorporating  new architectural details for a contemporary look.

I noticed this renovation project of a side by side building on 79th Street- smart for the property owners to update to the facade while installing new exterior materials.
