The massive--seriously, this thing is a quarter-mile long--One Santa Fe project is currently about halfway done in the Arts District, and Brigham Yen checks in on things. Work began early last year and the mixed-use behemoth is set to open on its site along Santa Fe Avenue, between First and Fourth Streets, in the fall of 2014. Still a ways off, but hey, it's happening! For a project that was approved five years ago and saw its share of ups and downs (largely money-related), that's way more than seemed likely in years past. What wonders will the Michael Maltzan-designed project bring to the neighborhood?
-- 438 rental units (20 percent affordable)
-- 80,000 square feet of commercial space (including maybe a grocery store)
-- a 99-seat theater, in partnership with nearby SCI-Arc
-- more than an acre of public outdoor space
-- possibly maybe a future Arts District Gold Line station
One Sante Fe is being built on a Metro-owned site, next to a railyard, a fitting neighbor for the sinewy, train-like project.
