#dmcs #Toxins #MicroHousing * Apartments in the formerly shuttered Arcade Providence in Rhode Island run 225 square feet, but renters are snapping up spaces. * Gutting the Rhode Island property wasnt an option—the building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Enter developer Evan Granoff, who has spearheaded micro-housing projects in space-cramped cities such as Boston and San Francisco. Granoff bought the mall, set aside the ground floor for retail, and set about transforming the top two floors. Each of the new 38 micro-apartments, which began welcoming tenants in early 2014, is 225 to 300 square feet—they take their design inspiration from shipping containers. Despite their minuscule size, the spaces come with the basics: a bathroom, a bedroom, storage, and a tiny kitchen (a mini-fridge and microwave are included, but there’s no oven or stove). A handful of 900-square-foot apartments are available for folks who want a bit more breathing room. The building also comes with amenities, including a game room and laundry facilities.
