The four-structure complex will yield around 41,860 square feet for housing and 15,920 square feet for parking. Each residence will have a two-car garage and one bicycle. Apartment sizes will vary, with five two-bedrooms and 19 three-bedrooms. Three apartments will be designated as affordable to moderate-income households. BKF is consulting on civil engineering.
Dahlin Group is the project architect. Illustrations show the design is a historicized Spanish architectural pastiche, with facade materials including stucco, cementitious panels, wooden railings, and S tile roofs. VanderToolen Associates is the landscape architect. The site will have trees lining the sidewalks, with a paseo intersecting the site from El Camino Real.
