Juniper Apartments, an affordable and sustainable residential project in Manteca, California, received a very respectable GreenPoint Rating of 131 points. The City of Manteca mandated that this project be indistinguishable from a market-rate project. Kuchman Architects achieved that goal by cladding simple-to construct buildings with cement plaster painted in deep rich colors, manufactured stone veneer, and concrete tile roofs. The project was 100% occupied within 30-days of completion. Construction was completed in February 2013.
