Truax Lofts SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES DEVELOPER: Nakhshab Development & Design Inc. OWNER: NDD on 13th Street Lofts LLC DESIGNER: Nakhshab Development & Design Inc. Truax Lofts preserves a historic craftsman-style home that played a vital role in San Diego's LGBTQ+ history, serving as the only AIDS-focused hospice during the epidemic. The developer restored the dilapidated home while building a new multiresidence structure on the adjacent lot, blending vintage and modern architecture to create 31,600 square feet (2,900 sq m) of residential space on 0.6 acres (0.24 ha). At a time when San Diego has had a shortage of workforce housing, this complex created 44 units in the place of two single-family homes-a 2,200 percent increase from the original properties. The jury appreciated that Truax Lofts preserved a valuable piece of local San Diego LGBTQ+ history and added valuable workforce housing and infill density that is seamlessly integrated into the eclectic architecture of the surrounding residential neighborhood. Strategic Spaces As a proud supporter of ULI we work with developers to create strategically designed and activated spaces that encourage a strong sense of community engagement and increase ROI. consultingoutsidethebox.com FALL 2022 URBAN LAND 117 DARREN BRADLEYhttp://www.consultingoutsidethebox.com
