The Syndicate Trust, now completely renovated into condos on the upper floors and apartments on the lower floors, boasts two courtyards that bring light into the interior of the building. Sadly, the Century Building, the Syndicate’s conjoined neighbor, could have easily been renovated along with its taller blockmate.

But that was not to be, and instead we have an ugly parking garage rudely occupying the site of the Syndicate’s old friend.
