The Dogtown Advantage

Built for Dogtown.

Across from Forest Park and just south of the highway, Dogtown is brick bungalows, family bars, and the loudest St. Patrick's Day parade in the city. We work the side streets and tie into the city utilities without ever holding up Tamm.

Dogtown — Forest Park-adjacent residential rehab, Tamm Avenue commercial, and infill sitework in the city's most Irish neighborhood.
