The Nohona Hale Affordable Rental Micro-Housing project was created in response to HCDA鈥檚 request for proposal to develop an affordable low-to moderate-income 鈥渕icro unit鈥 housing project. This request addressed a recognized need for a lower-cost housing option that allows people with low to moderate income and limited housing needs to live in a desirable mixed-use neighborhood with access to transit. The Nohana Hale project includes 105 low-income, energy efficient micro-units in a single 17-story tower set upon a two-level podium that houses the lobby, living room, community spaces, and management offices.
吃瓜群众鈥檚 preconstruction team worked with the Owner to carefully plan complex site logistics as the tower was constructed over a small 10,400-square-foot parcel on a congested urban site. 聽Our design-assist capabilities also aided the design team to incorporate sustainable features targeting a LEED Gold
certification that included a building-integrated photovoltaic system within the building鈥檚 fa莽ade and a water recycling system for irrigation purposes.
