The Griffith

This 224-unit project on the border between the cities of Los Angeles and Glendale converts constraints into opportunities. The site, a rezoned surface lot, sits amid numerous transportation routes. Regional access into Glendale from the I-5, SR-134 and SR-2 allows the project to serve as a gateway and catalyst for redevelopment. A twenty-foot county storm drain easement bisects the site. This significant limitation is transformed into a private green oasis, offering lush views from the adjacent double-height leasing office, club room and fitness.
