Ever Wanted to Live at a Zoo? Now’s Your Chance

San Diego-based Wermers Properties revealed plans for the 601-unit Santa Ana First Street apartment complex, at First Street and Elk Lane in Santa Ana, CA. The proposed mixed-use development, which also includes 18,500 square feet of commercial space, is slated for completion in 2020.

The conservatory design concept for the former Elks Club site is envisioned as a natural extension of the adjacent Santa Ana Zoo and Prentice Park. The two-building contemporary residential living project offers walkable green spaces between commercial, dining and recreational options.

Design features include large windows and “perches” that afford residents views of animals and nature at the zoo. Resident amenities include two resort style pools, two fitness centers, a yoga room, a resident club house cabana, an art gallery, resident lounge, and multiple outdoor BBQs and gathering spaces.
