Ankrom Moisan, partnered with our clients, Related NW and Central City Concern (CCC), designed Crescent Court as the first of the Division Street Campus projects, which includes Crescent Court and the upcoming Meridian Gardens. CCC serves a vulnerable population, and this 3-story mixed-use building, with 40 permanent supportive housing (PSH) single-resident occupancy (SRO) units, and 20 affordable studio units, provides a much-needed home with integrated clinical and supportive services, for those in the community who truly need one. Driven to fulfill the residents’ needs of safety, security, and flexibility, Cedar Commons has been designed to encourage communal gathering and socialization, with community kitchens and lounges on Levels 1 and 2, where the SROs occur. These community spaces allow residents to congregate, cook meals, and hang out. Smaller, more intimate settings are available for those wanting a place to relax away from the larger public spaces. Each floor employs accent colors, providing some individuality to the levels, aiding in wayfinding for easier direction. While much of the building is residential, a wing of Level 1 is dedicated to supportive services, allowing for easy access to CCC’s healing services, and for some separation between home and treatment. Cedar Commons is located one mile from the CCC Blackburn Center, another service resource for residents, easily accessed via a nearby public transit route. Adjacent to the building is a large green space, where there is a communal garden that includes raised garden beds that residents use for growing their own food, and for garden therapy. Now under construction, Meridian Gardens will also share this common green space, and plans are in place to add more raised beds to the already successful resident community garden. A place of healing and home, Cedar Commons is a haven for growth, hope and wellbeing.
