Realtor Notes: 'Donovan' is a modern, well-appointed building with cool, urban homes. Good finishes, open (although compact) floor plans and good amenities. Easy rental for investors and popular with young, entry-mid level buyers. Heat-pump/AC (Geothermal) a nice touch but mechanical units can be noisy. Reputable, long established developer (Cressey).
