LOS ANGELES-A public-private partnership of ROEM Development, La Cienega LOMOD and the City of L.A. Housing Authority has opened a new 100-unit affordable apartment complex for seniors at 410 N. Hawaiian Ave. Called Dana Strand Senior Apartments, the project was designed by architectural firm KTGY Group Inc. to LEED Silver specifications, is smoke-free and is designated for seniors with annual incomes at or below 30% of the Los Angeles County area median income.

Dana Strand, which occupies the site of a former public housing project, is a three-story building, with 82 parking spaces. It represents the third phase of the redevelopment of Dana Strand Village, the former public housing site.

The city housing authority entered into a limited partnership with Dana Strand Senior LLC to develop the $22.3 million complex, which was financed with 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and tax-exempt bond financing via the Freddie Mac Credit Enhancement Program.
