The East Garrison community includes adaptive reuse of a historic district on the former Ft. Ord military base in Monterey County, California.
The pedestrian-friendly development will include 1400 homes, a town center and an arts district.
Home selling and building at East Garrison is going at a good pace. Model homes are available for tours. Hundreds of homes are completed and occupied. Sixty-five units of low and very low income housing were completed and occupied in September, 2013.
The final phase of the project includes building the town center and sixty-five units of affordable, live/work rentals for artists. Ultimately, eight historic mess halls and several warehouse buildings will be converted to approximately 55,000 square feet of day-use artist studios, suitable for artists in all disciplines.
