LOS ANGELES, March 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snyder Langston, a Southern California-based master builder, has begun construction of an affordable housing community at 7th and Wall Street in Downtown Los Angeles. Known as Six Four Nine Lofts & Joshua House Health Center, the community is a 55-unit mixed-use project that includes a 25,000-square-foot medical clinic to be operated by Los Angeles Christian Health Centers. The mixed-use community is designed to serve at-risk individuals and people in Los Angeles experiencing homelessness. Construction is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2019.
This project is a development of Skid Row Housing Trust, a nonprofit organization that provides permanent supportive housing so that people who have experienced homelessness, prolonged extreme poverty, poor health, disabilities, mental illness and/or addiction can lead safe, stable lives in wellness.
“This is our fourth project with Skid Row Housing Trust and we feel honored to partner with them once more in bringing much-needed affordable housing to LA. More than that, we are building a community that will provide the services that are so essential to helping those who need it most. This housing is indicative of the work we value and understand at Snyder Langston, combining the quality features of both housing and healthcare,” said Mark Montoya, Vice President of Multifamily, Snyder Langston.
“It’s great working with Snyder Langston - contractors who don’t just see this as another job but see this as an opportunity to address one of the major issues of our time. It is inspiring to have a highly- motivated contractor on an innovative and impactful project such as this one which will truly change the lives of our future residents,” said Mike Alvidrez, CEO of Skid Row Housing Trust.
The 55-unit community is a type IIIA wood-framed mixed-use project combining three floors of multi-family housing on top of three levels of type IA concrete. The apartment units will be conveniently located above a new three-story, 25,000-square-foot Joshua House Health Center medical clinic. The medical clinic is OSHPD 3 and will offer waiting rooms, multiple lobbies, offices dedicated to social work and mental health, exam rooms, a few laboratories, optometry, pharmacy, chapel, conference rooms, and an elevated garden.
Snyder Langston continues to have a prominent presence building in Los Angeles. In 2017, half of the firm’s revenue was comprised of LA-based work.
