Temescal Place is a new construction mixed use project on an urban infill site served by numerous transit lines and located within walking distance of a variety of neighborhood services. Designed to be both contextual and vanguard, Temescal Place makes use of local vernacular forms while expanding and adapting them to suit the high density residential nature of the building.

Twenty-five townhouse-style units will sit atop podium parking and ground floor retail. The units will range from one to three bedrooms and will be priced to meet workforce housing needs, meaning that units should be affordable to teachers, mailpersons, firemen and nurses at nearby Children’s Hospital.

The Temescal neighborhood was recently the site of a controversial new strip-style retail center at which the neighborhood pleaded for greater density and mixed use, including housing over retail. Instead they got a single story center anchored by chain retail with no windows on the street. As a result, the community has been highly receptive to Temescal Place, calling it “the project we should have gotten instead of that strip mall.”
