The Gish Apartments, a project developed by First Community Housing,
is a 58,525-square-foot transit-oriented, affordable, multifamily
apartment complex. Its rents will remain at the designated affordable
rates for a period of 55 years. The project is registered under
both the LEED for New Construction and LEED for Homes rating systems.
It is a high-density project with a concrete podium structure. Within
its concrete podium is a subterranean garage and at-grade retail.
Above the podium is a three-story, Type V, wood-framed, 35-unit
apartment structure. The building's green design features include
energy-efficient windows, solar photovoltaics, and low-VOC-emitting
products. The project's energy efficiency is expected to exceed
by 27.5% the requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-1999 and California's Title
24.
