LEED Gold Certified

This infill development utilizes a vacant site in South Los Angeles by contributing a fresh affordable senior living complex into the context of the neighborhood with a Craftsman-inspired design that blends the project with residences to the east and offers accessibility to a MTA Rapid bus route on Broadway. The project achieved LEED Gold certification by implementing sustainable features including the installation of natural linoleum, natural rubber, or ceramic tile for all kitchens and bathrooms, where no VOC adhesives or backing was used, installing CRI Green Label Plus Carpet or no carpet in all bedrooms, use of no-VOC interior paint, use of bathroom fans that exhaust to the outdoors and are equipped with a humidistat sensor or timer, and exceeding Title 24 standards by at least 25%.
