Zen Terrace. Alhambra, Calif.

Zen Terrace was a large commercial condo development in the heart of San Gabriel Valley, in the City o Alhambra.  From conceptual work that started as early as 2006 to construction phase that ended in 2011, this project experienced the initial wave of our current economical recession.  At the end, the owner decided to turn this property to "units for sale" instead of for rent.  Overall, the project was considered a success and the owner is now returning to the development industry building two more large condo projects in the City of Alhambra.

My role in the beginning, as usual, was assisting the Principal on design, producing construction documents and making sure design meet City guideline and recommendations.  As the project progressed beyond the end of all plan checks and into initial stages of construction, I took over as the lead project manager and was tasked with all the future design changes, construction visits, and coordination of landscape sub-contractors.
