We are pleased to announce that TCA has received a PWW Design Award hosted by the American Institute of Architects! Kirkland Plaza is a LEED Platinum residential project. The building features micro and studio apartments, with the integration of communal spaces for the residents and retail spaces on the ground floor.
Micro housing increases opportunities for low-income renters to be able to live in more affluent areas by providing them with affordable housing options. The Plaza Apartments are only a 5-minute public transit commute away from downtown and has a walk score of 89. With public transit minutes away from their door, residents who do not own vehicles will be able to travel around the city more easily. Micro housing also helps with reducing resident’s carbon footprints. The smaller units occur fewer expenses and less maintenance. As well as it encourages residents to be more minimalistic. These are just a few examples of how micro-housing, like Plaza Apartments, is driving residential projects in a more sustainable and green direction.
