Community Revitalization

Community Revitalization Through New Homes

We look for opportunities to help revitalize older neighborhoods or convert underutilized land to productive use with new homes. Several of our communities have been built on brownfield, greyfield or infill properties. Often, our homes are the first to be built in these locations in years and can enhance communities with more energy- and water-efficiency housing.

One of our newest infill and high-density communities, Axis at Grace Park, began construction and sales in 2020 and will be delivering its first homes in 2021. The community is built on what was the site of Robert Freeman Hospital, which had been closed for many years and represents significant new residential revitalization of the area.

The three-story homes are designed specifically for the needs of city dwellers, maximizingspace and flexibility, including downstairs junior suites that accommodate a variety of family and living configurations. While these homes have all the advantages of single-family living, the community is designed to deliver nearly 15 homes per acre, maximizing this infill location. There is an on-site tot lot playground as well as a pool and community room planned for the larger community.

The community is also very centrally located and transit and pedestrian friendly, just a 10-minute walk to the La Brea and Florence Metrolink® light rail station on the Crenshaw Line, which is estimated to open in 2021.
