They're going up fast because Winther Investment (who owns the Dobson Mill Site) refused to hire union contractors to develop the site citing cost and time concerns. If you recall, about 1 year ago, the unions set up their big rat under the Route 1 bypass and the "protest" was on.
Winther stuck to their guns, the unions eventually found another project to protest, and the townhouses are going up at a very nice rate and I'm told people will be moving in before end of the year.
Also, in my opinion, I think they look very nice for rental units.
