Best seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best seniors housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
The development, located on the corner of Gurr Street and Davenport Terrace, will offer 33 rental homes – including two high-needs specialist disability apartments – capped at 25 per cent of the tenant’s income or 75 per cent of market value.
Social services not-for-profit UnitingSA, which is funding the $15m development, said the affordable rentals would be supported by the sale of seven three-bedroom townhouses within the block.
The City of Prospect gave the project planning approval in December 2020. Demolition of six “outdated” properties on the corner site began last month.
The Global Award winner will be announced in April in London. (Globals)
