The master planned community of Great Park Neighborhoods received its first two affordable family apartment communities for low-income families on Oct. 27.
The Luminaira at Parasol Park and The Espaira at Parasol Park, both designed by KTGY Architecture + Planning, will provide a total of 166 affordable apartments and a 4,000-sf leasing and social services center. The leasing and social services center will include a kitchen, media lounge, computer center, mailroom, and play area. Other amenities will include a pool, barbeque and picnic pavilion, and a dog run. After-school programs and educational classes will also be offered on-site.
Both Luminaira and Espaira will offer two- and three-bedroom floor plans ranging in size from approximately 809 to 1,129 sf. Each unit will come equipped with a gourmet kitchen with an Energy Star refrigerator and dishwasher, solid-surface countertops, hardwood plank-style flooring, ceiling fans, large closets, nine-foot ceilings, some paid utilities, and private outdoor space. A one-car garage is also included with each unit.
