SPARK Apartments

SPARK offers high-density, mixed-income housing with 80% affordable units. Inspired by the adjacent power plant, the design features durable materials like brick, steel and metal panels in a modern format. Coreten steel and dark charcoal brick at the base are complemented by light metal paneling with bright accents above. Landscaped terraces and roof gardens, home to beehives, provide fresh produce and honey.

Facing Temple Street and the transit station, the community includes a plaza, retail spaces and a shared courtyard. It features a 10,000 SF childcare facility and a 4,000 SF grab-and-go market. The ground floor includes bike trails and edible gardens with fruit trees and herbs. Upper-floor units form a ā€œUā€ shape around a private courtyard and roof terraces, integrating daycare, retail and housing into a cohesive community.
