Description:
This urban infill redevelopment site replaces a dozen rundown housing units with 90 affordable senior apartments. Located directly across from Echo Park, one of the city’s most iconic settings, it will offer a perfect amenity for the future residents of the community. It lies adjacent to the historic landmark 85 year old Angelus Temple which is home to the faith-based group that is developing this new community. On-site amenities include: pool, fitness center, hobby room, craft room, kitchen, solarium and gathering areas. In addition, the proposed redevelopment includes a unique multi-purpose room that is designed to serve as a chapel for the community. The space features a courtyard and fountain functioning as a gathering space for residents. There is a Victory Garden and potting shed to allow residents to create their own horticultural pursuits as well as a workshop that provides a place for the do-it-yourselfers to fix those things like they did at home.
