White crepe myrtles?

Maybe, although it says white(Natchez) bloom June through September, and these are early spring blooming and single stemmed.

I was leaning Bradford pear but some crab apple have white flowers as well. Bradford's thrive in urban environments.

The more pictures I see, the more I think you're right on Bradford Pear. I read they're supposed to be sterile, so no fruit which would suck in the urban areas. But I keep reading they're fragile, prone to losing limbs, and splitting trunks because of the way branches cluster around the trunk. That would be a real pain in the ass in cities, as that's where most of the parking is, and everyone knows cars are more important than trees. Trees drip paint eating sap, drop paint scratching twigs, shower shine dulling pollen, shed HVAC plugging leaves, provide runways for feathered poop machine air forces, and homes for bushy tailed tree rats.

The architect only wants a quick grower so they can sell.
