Quick Look

Problem

UCLA needed to significantly expand graduate student housing on a constrained urban campus, requiring a complex multi-level underground parking structure integrated with residential construction — all within a budget and schedule that supported the university's capital program.

Solution

Members of our leadership team delivered 282 graduate student townhomes across three levels of underground parking in Westwood, coordinating a complex structural and residential program on a dense campus site — on time and within the institution's capital plan.

Full Project Details

The UCLA Southwest Graduate Student Housing project stands as one of the most complex institutional delivery achievements in our leadership team's history — a 282-unit graduate townhome community constructed over three levels of underground parking in one of the country's most urbanized and logistically demanding construction environments.

The project required deep coordination between structural, civil, and residential building systems, with the underground parking structure driving sequencing decisions for the entire project. Working within UCLA's dense Westwood campus, our team managed site access, material staging, and trade coordination in a constrained footprint while maintaining the quality standards expected of institutional construction.

The outcome was a fully realized graduate student community — a project that expanded UCLA's housing capacity in a market where student housing supply has lagged demand for decades. It remains a signature example of what our leadership brings to complex multifamily construction in high-pressure institutional environments.
