DESCRIPTION
Westbourne Park Building C1 is located within the Metro Crossing transit-oriented development, a new mixed-use neighborhood including residential and retail, close to transit and other community facilities. Within this development of ±1,000 units, the C1 building prominently sits across the street from the Fremont Warm Springs Bart Station along Warm Springs Boulevard and directly against the development’s 1/2 acre Urban Plaza and Park. The C1 Building includes 136 units of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units within 6 stories. The building’s mass is articulated by spacious Unit Balconies along the upper levels and Unit Entry Stoops along the lower levels accessible from the public sidewalk, providing a sense of scale. In addition, the “E” shape plan provides residential courtyards that open to the adjacent Urban Plaza and Park.
VISION
Located in one of the most prominent areas of the development, Building C1 will be an instrumental part of this vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. It will create a safe and inviting transit-oriented community for residents.

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
Our transit-oriented developments combine mixed-use and infill development with pedestrian-friendly streets close to public transportation. These comprehensive plans create lively villages that inspire people to buy locally, use more public transit and drive less. Our TOD projects have included land use plans and urban design guidelines, master plans for new mass transit station areas, and infill visions for park-and-ride lots. VMWP also works with municipalities to develop implementation strategies as well as guidelines with which to evaluate development proposals.
