Located in downtown Santa Monica, California, Ocean Avenue South is a mixed-use apartment and retail project consisting of residential units serving people with a variety of incomes. It consists of 160 affordable apartments, 158 luxury condominiums, and 20,000 square feet of retail space. The project, the result of extensive community planning and a public/private partnership, fronts the new 6.2-acre Tongva Park and was completed in 2014.
Celadon at 9th & Broadway is a mixed-use project that provides 250 units of affordable housing plus commercial space in downtown San Diego. The affordable units are targeted to a range of age groups and housing needs. It is notable for its complex arrangement for financing the affordable units, since it was the first project in the state of California to stack two low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) allocations into one building. Celadon also incorporates a number of sustainable features, including a rooftop eco-garden, solar photovoltaic walls, and a solar hot water system. The project opened for occupancy in May 2015 and is certified Gold under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.
