General Building Notes: Early in the year of 2022, one city developer had begun trying to find affordable housing options and made heavy use of decommissioned shipping containers that were upgraded to city code for Century Station. A number of homes and industrial offices in southern side of the Zericho sub-district were built from them. One of note had been vacant for the last year, located at where Mercy Row Blvd. ended at 2nd St. was Jenga Tower. It was the architect’s seven story home made from 40 foot long, high-cube (9.5ft. ceilings), shipping containers. When the developer’s project had met with moderate success he moved much closer to the “Hill”.

The Jenga Tower name stuck because the upgraded shipping containers hid the modifications by texturing the out side of the containers to look like the smooth metal blocks of the aforementioned game. Also, the use of negative space amongst the stacked shipping containers to make it appear like an actual Jenga game in play just added to the nickname. Garrick loved that it was for sale, close to work, and used recycled items to make an impressive home. He snagged it as a cash sale for $310,000 given the track record the district was in and while comebacks were happening. The developer didn’t want any of his projects in the district to stain his rising star. Garrick’s ability for relating to the recycled motif won him over.
