Apartments

Cardinal apartments can be found in a few different configurations, depending partly on the number of 12' x 24' modules used. One-module apartments are advertised as efficiency or studio apartments. Some have murphy beds. Two-modules have one bedroom, with some models containing a utility room with washer and dryer connections. Three-modules have two bedrooms. Some contain two equally-sized bedrooms, while others have a master bedroom instead. Most have washer and dryer connections. In addition to the ground floor living area, many offer attic space over one of the modules.

Most of the apartments were built in the 1970s and 1980s [ [http://www.secinfo.com/dsvrn.u5D7.htm SEC Info - ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-8 - FWP - ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-8 - On 8/10/07 ] ] . The corporation filed for bankruptcy in 1989 [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1995_June_6/ai_16980381 "BRE Properties names Frank C. McDowell President & CEO"] Business Wire.
