Arts Colonies

ACE/121 is a 70-unit affordable apartment community in Glendale, CA, consisting of modern one, two, and three bedroom floor plans. ACE/121 houses three generations of artists – older professional artists, younger professional artists, and families with children involved in the arts. The project was developed with the Glendale YMCA, creating a campus themed in arts and well-being for all ages. The project offers large community areas, including an art gallery, large community rooms, a sculpture garden, and an arts-related entry that connects the community with the Arts & Entertainment District to the West. ACE/121 is constructed using sustainable green principles and built to LEED Silver standards certification.
