This mixed-use apartment, located two blocks from the new light-rail terminus, configures neighborhood serving retail space along the street  to encourage active pedestrian use with widened sidewalks, outdoor seating and bicycle parking. Cross-grain massing and a linear approach to public space challenged local planning guidelines that favored internal courtyards and discreet public open spaces. City guidelines were updated in response: now, this project is used as a model for good development.

Two hundred and fifty units varying in size units  flank upper level courtyards to create nested communities. South and  west facing apartments have movable screens that provide personalized control of sun and privacy and contribute to LEED Platinum aspirations.
