The project balances market-rate living with long-term affordability, delivering much-needed housing while fostering a connected, community-driven residential experience. Completed in 2025, 2853 West Blvd is a six-story modular multifamily building that served as a proof of concept for efficient, cost-effective urban housing delivery.
