  The proximity to public transportation is one of the perks offered in a complex that leases studios up to condo-like units with three bedrooms and two baths.  The development, by John M. Corcoran & Co. and Marcus Partners, also includes 6,000 square feet of retail space. One building is complete; the other two are scheduled for delivery in January and April. The model featured here is a third-floor one-bedroom unit of about 715 square feet.
