1. One Hill South Marker
Inscription. For many years, the land on which One Hill South now exists was the site of an Exxon gas station, a Wendy's fast food restaurant, and a towing company. The gas station closed in 2006 following a fraud scandal, and the Wendy's location stayed open until 2008 before being demolished a year later. The entire parcel of land was acquired by Ruben Companies in 2011. Before construction began on the first phase of planned residential, digging became required when a fleet of storage tanks left by Exxon were discovered. A development team of Ruben Companies and Related broke ground on the site in 2015, and One Hill South delivered in 2017 with 383 luxury apartment units and 25,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. Phase II of the planned residential complex is now underway, and is expected to deliver in 2020.
