The 231-unit apartment community, which includes eight distinctive “stoop” units on the street level, is a veritable buildingwide gallery for local artists, with everything from edgy wall paintings in the fitness center to a custom tile mural of Venus lining the pool. And the property makes use of the parking garage’s ground floor by utilizing it as flex space for programmed and live music events, keeping in line with the area’s known appreciation of sound art. As another of the marketing program’s tag lines declares of NOVEL Deep Ellum: “Always Extra, Never Ordinary.”
