Project Overview
Located in Long Beach, California, the 1535 Loma Avenue project transformed two existing attached three-car garages within an occupied eight-unit multifamily property into two new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The development was designed to maximize the property’s existing footprint while increasing residential density through adaptive reuse of underutilized space.
Completed in December 2024, the project delivered two modern residential units that integrate seamlessly with the existing apartment complex while improving site functionality, landscaping, accessibility, and overall property value.
