The master plan is expected to create three structures spanning roughly 123,000 square feet, including nearly 91,900 square feet for housing and 30,100 square feet for parking. The complex includes a 62-unit five-story apartment complex facing Monte Diablo Avenue, and ten townhouse-style apartments on a private road off North Kingston Street. Unit types will vary, with four studios, 42 one-bedrooms, 12 two-bedrooms, four three-bedrooms, and ten townhomes. On-site parking will be provided for 90 cars and 72 bicycles.
Studio T Square is responsible for the architecture. Facade materials will include stucco, concrete, and metal panels. Illustrations show the facade will feature some articulation with private terraces and three-story bay windows. PLAT Studio is responsible for the landscape architecture. The site plan includes a private pathway for the townhouse residences and a podium-top courtyard.

A great upgrade for this lot!
