The project involves the complete rehabilitation and renovation of an existing development which provides 247 fully reappointed affordable housing units, including 3 bedroom, 2-story town homes and 1 and 2 bedroom apartment units in two seven story mid-rise buildings. The project also offers 5,500 square feet of amenity space for use in continuing education, outreach services, after school activities and community gatherings. The entire site, which comprises a full city block at South Western Avenue and West Jackson Boulevard, has received a reinvention of its landscape and hardscape. Of note is a more welcoming and pedestrian friendly main entrance and softer courtyard spaces. Design and selections throughout the project revolve around promoting a warm and lively residential atmosphere.
