In Logan Square, construction on the 227-unit Granary Apartments at 20th & Callowhill, is nearing completion. So far, sixty tenants have moved in with more coming soon. The building was developed by Pearl Properties and designed by DAS Architects to be a blend of old and new, industrial and modern, and
