Port Hueneme, CA

Description

A new luxury condominium and four-star hotel development in the coastal California town of Port Hueneme transforms a former 1.4-acre parking lot into an iconic glass-and-steel landmark epitomizing the ideal of resort-style living. The 42-story mixed-use development, expected to be the largest single building on the coast between Los Angeles and San Francisco, includes an upscale eight-story hotel, a cafe and market, conference rooms, a grand “sky lobby” with restaurant and bar, and 32 stories of condominiums. Condominium dwellers enjoy a communal rooftop pool, ocean views, and access to hotel amenities. An open-design ground floor facilitates circulation between indoor and outdoor spaces and evokes an atmosphere of transparency and community accessibility. The building’s tower design, featuring below-grade parking, mitigates environmental impact with a small footprint relative to the building’s density. Other sustainable features include sunshades, wind-chimney ventilation, double-glazed skin, and use of recycled concrete in construction.
