Daniel Cater’s architectural firm, Cater Design Group, has engineered the plans for a number of renovated and from-scratch buildings in what’s known as Eastchester — mainly 18th, 19th and 20th streets, between Chester and Union — in downtown Bakersfield.

Cater’s work includes three completed residential apartments in that once-tired district east of Chester Avenue: 17th Place Townhomes, The Cue, and 918 Eastchester, as well as a fourth on the drawing board: Cleo on 18th.
