Featured Construction Projects: Irvine Apartment Company, North Park


Small Town Meets Big City, Planned Urban Villages

Cozy villages with a quick commute? Yes, trendy villages and apartment communities are sprouting up in many choice California locations to provide residents get-to-know-you type intimate communities with convenient access to everything “the big city” has to offer.

The Irvine Apartment Company has been providing California residences with high quality apartment communities for many years and make certain they work with the best from the construction drawings to the last brick laid around the community fire place.

The Irvine Apartment Company Ensures a Quick Build Time

The Irvine Apartment Company knows what Silicon Valley renters want in apartment community living — high quality, high-tech living at just the right price. The Nigro Firm commends the Irvine Apartment Company for choosing to commission a construction document coordination review for many of its’ projects including various North Park projects (The Laurels, The Redwoods and the Sycamores) and more recently two buildings at The Park at Spectrum.

A High-Tech Village with Coffee!

North Park in San Jose has everything Silicon Valley residents could want, including a five acre park and a Starbucks! Of course, since North Park is in the Silicon Valley, they also include the technology that residents demand such as high-speed internet, in-home alarm systems, internet cafes, multi-media conference rooms, Wi-Fi access in community spaces and cardio theatres.

Village and Urban Community Trend

Communities like North Park are becoming increasing popular with renters and buyers, since they offer a close community or village type atmosphere, which is generally almost impossible to find in a large city. They offer more than a subdivision; they are more like an autonomous community that may include amenities like community gardens, daycares, gyms, retail shops, dry cleaners, markets, sports clubs and even wine tasting. Apartment communities like The Village at Irvine Spectrum Center also include abundant community space where residents can get together and get to know each other, like pools and wading areas, BBQ pits and grills, demonstration kitchens, banquet facilities, yoga and dance studios, and media rooms with big screens and surround sound.

Most new villages also offer a variety of housing choices from small one bedroom units to “estate homes,” which may include up to three bedrooms and a family room. This range of home choices supports a diverse community, from seniors to singles to families, much like a “real” village.

It Takes a Village

Not only does it take a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to raise a high-quality apartment community. A design/construction village of forward thinking architects, motivated developers, top notch builders, and construction document reviewers like the Nigro Firm to help provide the most clean and buildable drawings possible.
