Part of an ambitious goal to create a new sustainable neighborhood in Santa Monica, the Belmar provides 160 units of affordable housing. The project was developed through a public/private partnership on City owned land, with the City leveraging its interest to achieve an unusually high proportion of affordable units- 50%. The masterplan, generated through a community design process, is organized around a public walk street, which anchors affordable housing to the south and market rate condominiums to the north and south.
