A new transit-friendly, green luxury apartment community, The Crossing, debuted yesterday in Anaheim. The 312-unit complex is located adjacent to the Metrolink Anaheim Canyon Station, with easy access to the 91, 55, 57, 22 and 5 freeways.
The complex was designed by KTGY Group Inc. and developed by SARES-REGIS Group, both based in Irvine. SARES-REGIS is the largest privately held developer of green apartment units in Southern California.
The pet-friendly community – complete with a fitness center, pool, media screening room and clubhouse with a fireplace, kitchen and game room – was designed to achieve a LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Materials from the site’s previous building were reused in the construction of The Crossing, which includes more than 120 bicycle parking spaces and offers preferred parking for fuel-efficient vehicles.
Sustainable features include “cool-roof technology,” designed to reduce the buildup of heat on the complex’s roof and capture storm water runoff. In addition, ENERGY STAR appliances and energy-saving lights will be used.
“All of the apartments incorporate raised ceilings, expansive windows, high-end appointments and energy efficiencies, and are focused on themed courtyards to orient them away from traffic, freeway and rail,” says David Senden, a principal with KTGY and lead designer of the project.
There are 11 floorplans, ranging from 639 square feet to nearly 1,500 square feet, at prices ranging from $1,320 to $2,165 per month.
“This is an exciting location – especially for commuters, as The Crossing is situated next to the Metrolink/Amtrak station with convenient access to all the area’s major freeways and shopping, dining, entertainment and employment,” says Senden. “Built on a 5.2-acre site, which previously housed a warehouse building, this new development will spur the area’s conversion to quality residential.”
According to Senden, developer SARES-REGIS achieved a landfill-diversion rate of 94 percent during demolition, and a 75 percent recycling rate during construction.
