National Accolades for Affordable Workforce Housing Community Design by KTGY (2009-02-09)
KTGY GROUP has received national recognition for the design of Nuevo Amanecer Apartments, an affordable, workforce housing community in Pajaro, CA developed and built by South County Community Builders of Gilroy, CA. KTGY’s distinguished design maintains the sense of community and interaction among the residents, including patios and balconies, a long central paseo with benches anchored by a large community room on one end and a tot-lot with barbecue and picnic area on the other end. The six-building project is 100 percent affordable for incomes 60 percent or less below median family income (MFI). The Center for Community Innovation at the University of California, Berkeley selected Nuevo Amanecer Apartments as a finalist for the 2009 I. Donald Terner Prize, a biennale award that recognizes successful and innovative affordable housing projects and their leadership teams.
