Senior Housing in Oak Park.

In the heart of the historic Oak Park neighborhood, this 3-story affordable senior residential building includes 44 apartment units, a community room, management offices, and laundry facilities.

This new development is the work of an established partnership between The Related Companies of California and Mogavero Architects, the team responsible for the Arbors, a 56-unit affordable senior rental community completed in the neighborhood in 2013. The new building design is intended to integrate with the existing development, as the parcels are situated in connection with one another. Both developments will be jointly operated when the new community is ready for occupancy.

The residential units are tailored in size to suit the needs of the senior population and contain a mix of 7 studios

and 37 one-bedroom units, with 12 of the units reserved for seniors coming directly out of homelessness. With a live-in maintenance manager’s unit and a full-time social services office onsite, the development will be a one-stop shop for those in need of extra resources or care.

The street-facing architectural elements of the building echo the existing rhythm of the Arbors, with the building façade along Broadway and 39th stepping in and away from the street. A community garden, courtyard patio and shade structure adjacent to the community room provide the tenants with interactive green spaces and an area to gather and relax. A tiered planting plan including a colorful pallet of flowering shrubs, grasses and trees will be used to screen the parking at the East Parcel to Broadway.
