The City of San Luis Obispo recently celebrated the grand opening of South Hills Crossing, a new affordable apartment community by ROEM Corporation in partnership with the Housing Authority of the San Luis Obispo (HASLO). South Hills Crossing is affordable to families with annual incomes at or below 60 percent of the San Luis Obispo County area median income. The 43-unit project is already fully leased.
Designed by international award-winning KTGY Architecture + Planning, the $14.1 mil development consists of three buildings in a contemporary mix of urban-industrial and craftsman style architectures with one-, two- and three-bedroom units. In step with the community’s love of outdoor recreation and care for the environment, the development boasts a bike storage structure for 44 bicycle spaces (one per unit) in addition to providing 66 surface parking spaces and four motorcycle spaces.
Currently pursuing USGBC LEED Platinum certification, ROEM incorporated a number of “green” features designed to ensure long-term energy efficiency and sustainability, including both solar thermal and common area photovoltaic systems; energy efficient windows; and natural ventilation with low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and sealants. Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Green Label Plus low VOC carpeting, pads and adhesives, and Energy Star appliances and water-efficient fixtures were also installed.
South Hills Crossing is financed with 9 percent Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Solar Tax Credits, with additional financial support from the City and County of San Luis Obispo, HASLO, San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund, Citi Community Capital and AEGON Group. The architect is KTGY Architecture + Planning and the general contractor is ROEM Builders, Inc.
