The Lake Washington Affordable Multifamily Housing project is a visionary development situated in the dynamic Southport Neighborhood of West Sacramento. Envisioned as a response to the growing need for affordable housing, this project harmoniously blends functionality, aesthetics, and community engagement.

The total of (152) units is comprised of (42) 1BR units (28%), (70) 2BR units (46%), and (40) 3BR units (26%). (1) one 3BR unit on the ground floor will be designated as Building Manager Unit. A total of (159) surface parking spaces will be provided on three sides of the building. Within these stalls the following specialty stalls will be provided: (10) motorcycle spaces, (8) EV charging stalls, (40) EV ready stalls, (16) EV capable stalls, (1) EV-Van stall,  (3) ADA stalls, (1) ADA Van stall.  Bike parking spacea are (32) spaces in two bike rooms and (8) short-term bike spaces.  

The project consists of two distinct L-shaped building blocks, creatively interconnected by two bridges, forming a central green courtyard that serves as a communal amenity for residents. The bridges feature amenity spaces on each of upper levels. Adjacent to the bridge area each L-block houses a core area with a Lobby space at the ground level, and elevator and an egress stair. A second set of egress stairs is located at the inside corner of each L-block. Each L-block has a five story wing running east-west and a four-story wing running north-south. Balcony towers add a unique touch, providing exterior spaces for each unit while breaking down the massing and contributing to the pedestrian scale of the project. 

The Lake Washington Affordable Multifamily Housing project aims to not only address the critical need for affordable housing but also to foster a sense of community and well-being among its residents and the broader neighborhood. Through thoughtful design and a commitment to creating a vibrant living environment, this project is poised to become a cornerstone of the Southport community in West Sacramento.
