Summerhill Apartment Communities has completed work on "The Lane on the Boulevard," a new 141-unit luxury residential rental community in Redwood City, on the San Francisco Peninsula, just north of Atherton. The project was designed by KTGY Group, Inc.
The property is located on 2580 El Camino Real, between Carlos Ave and Center St. Close by are jobs, restaurants, shopping, public transportation and freeways.
Situated on the site of the former Mel's Bowl, the community name of The Lane on the Boulevard is a “nod” to the site’s past. The bowling alley's iconic sign, which represents mid-century "Googie" architecture, influenced by car culture and the space and atomic ages, was restored by SummerHill and relocated. The sign now sits on the Redwood City Car Wash site two miles down the road.
To memorialize Mel's Bowl, and the Boicelli Family who owned the land for over 100 years, SummerHill created two plaques that have been placed on the exterior of the building near the apartment community's main entrance. Photos of the Boicelli Family are displayed in The Lane's lobby.
"We’ve designed an elegant building for the community in keeping with the architectural character of the Peninsula," said KTGY Principal David Senden. "From the modern clubroom and state-of-the-art fitness amenities to high speed internet connectivity and the community's sustainability features, The Lane is every bit as forward looking as anything currently being built in Silicon Valley."
The Lane includes a mix of studios and one- and two-bedroom luxury apartment homes ranging from 512 sf to 1k sf in size. The apartment homes are energy- and water-efficient and include a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and European-style cabinetry, in-unit washers and dryers, walk-in closets, private storage and balconies or patios.
The Lane community includes alternative transportation amenities such as bicycle storage and repair facilities, electric vehicle charging stations and a resident carpool web portal. Other amenities include a clubroom, fitness studio, swimming pool with a spa, outdoor kitchen and fireplace, and a pedestrian path surrounding the property. Residents can also enjoy convenient access to their residences via same-level parking.
