Does this "building" mean just the structure of apartment or the construction itself? The translation goes "construction", but it seems wrong. But if they mean just a structure, "apartment" itself could be enough, why did they add building as well?
ex)For Irving and Sara Selis, who are blind, it was a dream come true. For years, they talked about an apartment building planned especially for people who couldn’t see or who had other disabilities. The Selises knew just what it should be like. So, with the help of $11 million from the United States government, the 12-story apartment building, with room for 320 people, was finished. What made it so different? Apartment and elevator numbers were in Braille, which is a raised way of writing that the blind can read. Special rails in the lobby and halls helped blind people find their way. Doorways were extra wide so that wheelchairs could pass through easily. And each apartment had special buttons so that people could call for help in a hurry. Thanks to the Selises, disabled people .
