Tyler Court

El Monte, CA

Project Overview

Tyler Court provides 20 units of affordable senior housing in El Monte. This 15,000 square foot site was formerly home to a blighted eyesore along a popular commercial strip.

Domus worked closely with the City of El Monte to develop an architectural and financing plan that would create a high-quality development—quickly. By leveraging tax credits with federal HOME funds, Domus was able to replace the neighborhood eyesore with a certified LEED Platinum craftsman-style building.

Designed by YHLA Architects, the housing development features a community room, terrace and solar panels integrated into the awnings, carports, and roof well. Additional green features include drought-tolerant landscaping, high-efficiency drip irrigation and permeable pavers that filter stormwater and reduce pollutants.
