The project, which is located on a previously vacant lot at 1500 E. Anaheim Street, consists of a five-story building which will feature 88 one-, two-, and three-bedroom dwellings above 22,700 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, most of which will be occupied by a medical clinic. The new apartment complex also features a 156-car parking garage at the center of the property.\
SVA Architects designed Anaheim and Walnut, which has a contemporary exterior. Besides housing, the project will include on-site amenities such as a rooftop deck, a central courtyard, and recreation rooms.

At the time Bridge Housing applied for tax credit financing in February 2021, it was estimated that the project would cost $53 million, with monthly rents ranging from $379 to $1,678 per month.
At completion, which is expected later this year, the apartments will be reserved for formerly homeless seniors and low-income families earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income level.
