BREA — The much anticipated South Brea Lofts project will be unveiled to the community June 23 – units will be up for sale and model tours will introduce residents to the site.
The project on the corner of Elm and Alder streets will house 47 lofts and about 7,500 of retail space. Each loft will be priced somewhere in the low to mid $700,000s.
Sales Manager Audrey Kelly said developer CWI is looking at a possible coffee shop, sandwich shop and a complimentary business service, such as a drop-off dry cleaners, to fill the retail space.
Kelly said no contracts have been signed yet.
Loft residents will also get an extra perk when they move in – a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle to tool around and run errands in the community.
South Brea Lofts is part of the city's vision to revamp South Brea Boulevard. The 500 block was once home to a run-down strip mall anchored by a Chinese restaurant, a sewing machine and vacuum repair shop, a discount cigarette store and a drive-through dairy.
The project has received two awards for exemplary development, said City Planner David Crabtree.
The American Planning Association, Orange County Chapter selected the lofts as this year's outstanding planning project for the county. The development will go on to compete at the state level.
The Southern California Association of Governments issued the lofts a housing award under its Compass Blueprint Award for exceptional planning and development. |
