This project was an infill plan in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. Completed for Romero-Rose, LLC, a part of Jonathan Rose Companies, this plan reuses two and a half blocks of land directly adjacent to the city’s main transit center and a block from Central Avenue, the primary commercial corridor.
Planned for the density and diversity that its location recommends, the neighborhood contains a variety of housing types. The Silver Gardens Apartments is a mixed-income affordable project, LEED certified and a winner of the EPA’s 2011 Award for Smart Growth Achievement. Green Commons will be a commercial building containing a mix of flexible commercial spaces as a base for entrepreneurial and small business activity. And Elements Townhomes is a moderately-priced market rate townhome project on the project’s third block. Calthorpe Associates created the vision and master plan for the project, including programming and massing studies.
