What is the Cirrus Building?
The Cirrus building is a skyscraper where people live. It has many apartments inside. It is located where Westlake Avenue, 8th Avenue, and Lenora Street meet. The building was first known as 2030 8th Avenue.
How the Building Was Built
Work on Cirrus started in May 2013. It was finished and opened in 2015. The building was first planned to have condominiums. Condominiums are apartments that people own. But the developers, GID Development Group, decided to change the plan. They wanted to offer apartments for rent. Renting means you pay money each month to live in a place.
The architects, Weber Thompson, changed the design. They made the apartments smaller to fit the rental market.
Living in Cirrus
The Cirrus building officially opened in October 2015. If you wanted to rent a one-bedroom apartment there, it cost about $2,903 each month when it first opened.
The same company, GID Development Group, also built another apartment building. It is called "Stratus" and is right across the street from Cirrus.
