But what makes the project even more appealing is that the Dorado provides attractive, affordable housing for seniors in one of the nation's most expensive housing markets, Orange County.

    Beantown's got a new neighbor. Archstone Boston Common—a 28-story apartment community—is the first high-rise residential development underway in downtown Boston in more than 20 years. The 420-unit project marks a major step in the redevelopment of the city's downtown. Archstone Boston Common is located near the city's theater and financial districts and is adjacent to the Liberty Tree Building, a registered historic landmark.

  • During the early 18th century, the capital city of Richmond, Va., became the place to be for many tobacco farmers. Richmond's close proximity to the James River and the Kanawha Canal made it a haven for cigarette growers and shippers. The area's popularity among this contingent sprouted a “Tobacco Row”—a collection of cigarette factories and warehouses that stretched along the river. Many of these facilities were multilevel brick buildings, constructed that way to protect the contents in the structure from potential fire loss.

    Shade at Desert Ridge was conceptualized as a “horizontal mixed-use community,” a desert-inspired enclave of mostly three-story walk-up flats and town-homes, plus one four-story elevator-served building. The 342-unit development's master planner and architect, Southern California-based TCA, designed the community with New Urbanism tendencies in mind. Think pedestrian-friendly streets, walkability, and connectivity.
