Anaheim and Walnut is a 207k sf, mixed-use development by Bridge Housing, in partnership with the City of Long Beach and the Long Beach Housing Authority, located at 1500 East Anaheim St. SVA Architects designed the project.
The 88-unit building includes a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom affordable housing units, some with balconies, for formerly homeless seniors (age 55+) and low-income families that earn between 30% and 60% of AMI. The project features four stories of residential apartments over ground-floor commercial space, with a partially wrapped three-story parking structure. The fourth-floor terrace of the parking garage features amenities including a tot lot, exercise equipment, barbecues, seating areas, trellises, community planters and rubber surface flooring.
The building’s skin will include a mixture of Hardy plank lap siding and panels, colored three-coat plaster and vertical aluminum decorative fins adding to the design elements. R.D. Olson Construction also is building the shell for an 18.5k sf community space that will house a Wellness Community Center operated by The Children’s Clinic to provide healthcare for the neighboring community. R.D. Olson Construction partnered with SVA Architects on the project.
The other project is West Carson Villas, located at 22801 - 22905 S. Vermont Ave, which is being developed by PATH Ventures, a non-profit affordable housing developer, in partnership with the Los Angeles County Development Authority. The 111-unit, four-story affordable housing complex features a combination of one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans with several ADA compliant units.
Amenities include a common room, three conference centers, a yoga flex room, a playground and outdoor seating areas with barbecues. Additionally, the 150k sf complex includes ground floor parking with 83 parking stalls and 68 bike parking spaces for residents and guests. The project is expected to receive LEED Gold certification, complete with solar hot water panels. KFA Architecture and Placed Interior Design handled design work for the development.
