The owner, Avalon Bay Communities, partnered with West Hollywood Community Housing — a nonprofit affordable housing corporation — to provide 77 affordable senior housing units within the development. Roof terraces with a pool and outdoor gathering spaces, a fitness facility, parking and common areas elevate the living experience for all residents. Further community connections are provided with an 18,250-square-foot plaza and pedestrian space that sits between the buildings.
Diverse Programming Supported by Structural Engineering
The structural engineering had to respond to complex elements throughout the development, such as varying structural designs on a single podium, designing residential atop an existing retail store and inclusion of subterranean parking. Sky bridges and the robust amenities desk, supported by Type III wood construction, further drove the design team toward creative solutions for the client.
