Affordable Oceana Apts. Breaks Ground

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA—A public-private partnership between AMCAL Multi-Housing, the City of Huntington Beach and TRI Pointe Homes is developing an affordable-housing development here called Oceana Apartments. The development, AMCAL’s fifth affordable-housing community in Orange County, will replace an underutilized commercial building and parking lot.

AMCAL tells GlobeSt.com that total anticipated construction costs for the project, which is set for completion in 2015, are just below $15.8 million. Oceana will be a 78-unit, four-story community with one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments targeting families that qualify for affordable housing. The development will offer a variety of modern amenities and on-site social services including a large community room on the street front with a computer lab and media area, two onsite laundry rooms and bicycle storage. Outdoor common areas will feature extensive landscaping with a large turf play area, courtyard with barbecues and a playground for children.
