This project is the competition-winning mixed-use prototype for a part of South Central Los Angeles ravaged by years of disinvestment and by the civil unrest of 1992. It provides subsidized ownership townhouses, retail, community facilities and controlled open space. It provides comfortable pedestrian environments along Vermont Avenue and internally, while simultaneously accommodating very high Los Angeles parking needs without resorting to an expensive concrete parking podium.

Winner of the 1999 HUD Secretary's Award for Excellence, Platinum Award.
