Set on a parcel that long ago was a citrus orchard when Chula Vista was the “Lemon Capital of The West” – Citrus Villa will provide 54 affordable apartments for low-income seniors. The 3-story building is a mix of studios and one-bedroom plans with a single two-bedroom unit set aside for an on-site manager. Each apartment enjoys a private balcony, large closets and generous operable windows. Additional resident amenities include a commons room with kitchen, two garden level terraces and a sky deck and lounge.
The design recognizes its setting near Chula Vista’s historic downtown by animating the sidewalk with large storefronts, playful signage, an arcaded entry and a colorful mural inspired by the local flora and fauna. Building colors and details celebrate Chula Vista’s unique bi-national heritage.
Completion Date: Fall 2024
