Dubbed the Prisma Lofts, the project will also include a mural by artist Oscar Magallanes.
“We worked closely with a diversity of stakeholders to create a project that honors Pomona’s artistic heritage while embracing its future," said SVA Architects principal Lori Ichisaka. "The result is a design that reflects numerous perspectives, and will help bring revitalization to downtown Pomona for a brighter tomorrow.”

The apartments are to be reserved for renters earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income level.
According to a 2024 staff report to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, the total budget for Prisma is more than $52 million. Monthly rents are expected to range from $780 to $2,163 per month.
