The Stockyards Place apartments are designed with a modern approach using materials such as precast concrete and glass. The interiors feature open floor plans, top-of-the line kitchens, large balconies, and beautiful metal work railings by Pakistani artist Asheer Akram.

Architect and KEM STUDIO principal, Jon Taylor, says, “The Stockyards Place development embodies the direction in which the district is rapidly moving. It pays homage to the industrial legacy of the neighborhood, while simultaneously reflecting the modern sensibilities of the businesses, bars, restaurants and galleries now populating the area. At KEM STUDIO, we’re already champions of this area because our own offices are located in this vibrant community.”

Stockyards Place was conceived as a catalyst for future development and a stake in the ground by developer Bill Haw regarding the quality of the development to come in the area. The apartments are a mix of one- and two-level units and come in a variety of sizes including 822-square-foot studios, 1,200-square-foot one-bedrooms, 2,200-square-foot two-bedrooms and a single 3,000-square-foot three-bedroom unit. Rents are expected to range from about $1,600 month for a studio up to $5,600 a month for the three-bedroom unit. The apartments are currently available for rental.
