New Crescent Circle Apartments now sport brand name - Domain



New apartment development on Crescent Circle @ Eldridge Parkway gets domained 

The recently completed high-end multifamily apartment complex on East side of Crescent Plaza Drive, located next to Eclipse Apartments and opposite Ray Miller Park, finally has a name: Domain. Alas the signage at the leasing office entrance does not provide for strong contrast against the dark-shaded parts of the building’s exterior, making the name-sign almost unintelligible from afar. 

But the variegated coloring scheme of the buildings themselves easily makes up for the initial namelessness and the less than stellar visibility of the signage, especially when the grass is green, and the sky blue: a quite appealing sub-urban vista indeed.


As long as the apartment front row is not obscured, that is. There is currently a huge field with a tree, but that property is posted for sale, and will no doubt eventually see construction too.  

Speaking of construction activity along this stretch of Eldridge Parkway just South of Briar Forest, a daycare (The Goddard School) has already been built at the north end of the circle, and an Alzheimer’s memory care facility (pleasingly named Autumn Leaves) is underway.

In anticipation of the influx of additional residents and their discretionary spending dollars, the retail sector is seeing renewed activity too. A new pub has opened in the ground-level corner space (with patio) at The Parkway Village Plaza retail center, which already features two cafes (Kim Son Café and Pastelitos Cafe), and a dessert place, along with  a tea house and other businesses. 



There is still retail space posted for lease The Parkway Village Plaza property, but it will no doubt soon find eager takers too, given the incipient boom in the Energy Corridor and adjacent neighborhoods.
