Milender White (MW), Meta Housing Corporation and Y&M Architects recently teamed up to build 230 units of affordable housing in the South Bay, close to the 110 Freeway and less than 500 feet from Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and its Research Institute. Tellus on Carson represents MW’s fourth general contracting project for Meta and its first project with Y&M, Meta’s frequent collaborator.
Entirely residential, Tellus on Carson rises six stories. The two-building, 338,678 sq. ft. project has seven levels; one of the two parking levels is below grade. The west exterior presents a red-on-white façade accented by black-framed recessed balconies, while the east and north exteriors present black, white, and gray hues. The project has 230 units, with 120 being two- and three-bedroom. Courtyards, murals, and a community center are all included in the project footprint.
MW delivered Tellus on Carson nearly four months ahead of schedule thanks to its efficient project management. The project went from NTP to TCO in just under two years.
