The 8th floor terrace will include a seating area, outdoor BBQ and community table, native planting with built-in seating, and a shade structure.

Building Design:
The massing and design marks the building as contemporary while referencing the surrounding context. The design emphasis is at the pedestrian level with transparent retail at the corner and residential lobby on the street to contribute vitality and energy to the street. The building’s upper portions are broken into visually distinctive forms to the existing building scales around them. Exterior building materials will consist of a smooth cement board and smooth stucco finish in neutral colors contrasted by balcony elements. The building provides a porcelain tile finish on the ground level.

CADA’s Affordable Housing Mandate:
CADA’s mission is to help create a neighborhood for all, including all household types and incomes. CADA is mandated to preserve 25% of its housing stock (units that CADA manages or builds) as affordable units. Even though the Cypress will be a higher-end project, CADA’s mission is to help create a neighborhood for all, including all household types and incomes. CADA will continue to build or preserve at least 25% of its housing stock as affordable units, thus increasing both market-rate and affordable housing in the neighborhood.

Building Design:

The design is contemporary and intended to provide an effective transition from the East End Complex of office buildings to the north, the residential Capitol Park neighborhood to the south, and the Midtown neighborhood to the west. The entire building will be faced with stucco. Along 16th Street and along N Street, on the first two floors, the stucco will be clad with ceramic tile. Floors 2 through 6 on all sides of the building will be faced with painted/colored smooth-finish stucco. The alley and parking lot elevations will be stuccoed down to ground level. The rendering below gives a general idea of what the finished building will look like. The colors will be more vibrant than shown in the rendering.
The residential entrance will be on N Street. The parking entrance and exit will be from the alley. Along N Street, the streetscape will include a corner bulb-out and three storm water retention planters to be constructed with Proposition 84 grant funding provided by the Strategic Growth Council. They will be constructed as part of CADA’s effort to construct the first storm water retention planters in the Central City and are part of a large-scale greening effort CADA is leading within the 16th Street corridor. The first four storm water planters are already in place at 16th and O Street and at 16th and P Street.

Site Cleanup Partnership with the US EPA

CADA received a loan from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Brownfields grant program to help pay for the cleanup. Under DTSC’s oversight, CADA prepared a removal action plan, excavated and removed approximately 5,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil to a depth of eight feet. Soils were transported to a permitted facility, and the cleanup was completed by the summer of 2004. In September 2004, DTSC issued a certificate of completion that all environmental cleanup activities were completed and that the site was suitable for unrestricted land use. Recently, CADA began the required repayment of its EPA cleanup loans.
