The face of Crescent City is slowly but undeniably changing. From a dull, drab 70’s yellow, six prominently located Crescent Arms apartment buildings will be renamed and enjoy a colorful facelift. General Manager Andrew Lovaas shared the news, plans and addresses of the properties undergoing the facelift including:
• 117 E Street
• 145 E Street
• 187 E Street
• 217 F Street
• 249 F Street
• 287 F Street.
The colors for each buildings include aqua marine, mossy green, balcony sunset, azure blue, sea foam and an as of yet, undetermined designer yellow.
Lovaas and Adrian Ballestero shared their vision of bright, beach colors for the buildings. Each building will be painted a different marine landscape color and the building will be named after the sea coast color.
The painting facelift and stucco repair of the buildings is being painted by Adrian’s Painting. Adrian and his team expect to complete the renovation and facelift by the end of summer.
These high profile locations off Front Street follow the recent abatement of 200 A Street, a declared public nuisance property by the superior court. Richardson Griswold law firm was appointed court receiver for the city. The dilapidated long-vacant eyesore has been removed. Griswold law continues to remove the slab foundation and will continue to abate the nuisance property over the next three months.
When learning of the new look of each of the buildings, City Manager Eric Wier was pleasantly surprised and expressed his city appreciation for the investment made beautifying the city.
Step-by-step, building by building, the city continues to improve its appearance.
