Project

New construction of an apartment building consisting of 48 one-bedroom units and one (1) two-bedroom manager’s unit. The development is a 100% special needs community targeting veterans who were homeless and have disabilities. Silver Star Apartments is the first Zero Net Energy (ZNE) multi-family, affordable housing project in Los Angeles, California. This building is completing its journey to become Living Building Challenge Energy Petal Certified, and it has been LEED for Homes Platinum Certified and Energy Star Homes Certified. Key features include a greywater system with estimated savings of nearly half a million gallons of water per year and a rooftop solar photovoltaic system, which will reduce the operating cost of the building.
