The Fifth Street Apartment building is located in the Downtown Commercial District in Santa Monica.  The area’s eclectic creative community and pedestrian orientation dictated the inclusion of an art gallery on the ground level.  The building facades are articulated in color, texture and over-scaled posts and trellises; an architectural vocabulary that reflects the optimistic exuberance of the revitalization of Santa Monica’s vibrant downtown.  The twenty-eight apartments are deed-restricted; twenty-two for moderate income residents and six for Seniors.
