A “landscraper,” this building fills an entire block in a semi-industrial area of the city, branching into long fingers separated by courtyards to the rear.

Via patios and decks, the mix of 170 affordable and 54 market- rate apartments and townhouses open onto the street or landscaped courts. Glass sound walls cap the courtyard ends, buffering the open space from the noise of the nearby train but maintaining city views. A two-level embedded above-grade garage holds 238 parking spaces.

The street edge is lined all the way around with active uses that keep the area lively. An elliptical tower featuring a double-height commercial space under a stack of three-bedroom units, makes a bold graphic entry point for the mixed-use greenway that runs the length of the development.

The greenway serves as a bicycle and pedestrian connector for southern districts to the downtown area and brings a new half-acre public green space—complete with picnic lawns—to the neighborhood.
