All studio units at Franklin feature a variation of dark hardwood, carpet or vinyl flooring with window air conditioning units, radiator/boiler heat, ceiling fans, wood cabinets, stainless steel sinks, electric ranges, refrigerators, and shower/tubs. Many units are partitioned into a living room/bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The floor plan of the above-grade units is identical or mirror image, while basement units are slightly different floor plans with similar layouts. 90% of units have experienced full unit turns with improved make-readies presenting a more uniform product.
