Pacific City Apartments

Project Name: Pacific City Apartments
Location: Huntington Beach, CA
Architect: MVE + Partners
Material: Parklex Wood Composite Panels on Extruded attachment system
System: Custom Designed System
Construction: 2016-current
Area of Panels: 117,000 sq. ft.

The proposed modifications to the 17.23 acre residential portion of the Pacific City development include redesigning the cluster building layout, relocating the driveway entrances off Huntington Street and the inner loop road, adding an Emergency Vehicle Access driveway from Huntington Street, removing one driveway entrance from the loop road, redesigning the layout of the two levels of subterranean parking, and a parking variance for a reduction in total parking space requirements. Changes to the elevations, building colors, and materials consist of amending the project design to a contemporary coastal aesthetic similar to the commercial and hotel architecture of the mixed use development. Although the original project was approved as condominiums, the applicant intends to lease the units as apartments at this time. Overall, the original count of 516 multi-family units remain the same. Currently this is one of the largest apartment complexes on the west coast.

For this project Rainscreen Solutions LLC received in 2016 contract to engineer cladding of the 6 large apartment buildings
