2462 Ensenada

As the project began taking shape, a big part of the early focus was simply getting clarity around how the property would ultimately function, what needed to be preserved, and how the redevelopment could come together in a way that made sense both structurally, practically and financially.

Like many large-scale residential projects, the scope evolved as details became clearer and planning progressed. As the overall direction of the redevelopment became more defined, it also became easier to align planning, budgeting, and expectations before major construction moved forward.

Taking the time to work through those details upfront helped create a smoother path once construction was underway.
