Grass Comes to Penrose Square

What was once a muddy construction pit is now a lush, grassy field.

Sod was recently planted at the Penrose Square development on Columbia Pike. The sidewalk in front of the development, which was once completely blocked by construction,  is now navigable by pedestrians.

Trees were planted around the new apartment complex earlier this month. The clock near the building’s roof line, however, still hasn’t been turned on.
