At home on 3rd Avenue

It looks peaceful on the outside… but on the inside the rooms are all framed, plumbing is roughed in, electrical is almost done, and we’re putting up drywall.

KDO is excited to be contributing to the revitalization of this section of third avenue. We’re hopeful that the vacant buildings along here  will find new life and opportunity soon!
