Rotary Plaza is a two-building complex that first received residents in the early 1970s. After 43 years of service the community, the project underwent an extensive renovation and Section 8 preservation that will guarantee the long-term affordability of the property for decades to come. The renovation included seismic upgrades, a complete rehabilitation of all residential apartments and all corridors, improvements to common spaces, an expanded library with a new fireplace, enhanced open space and raised garden beds, and a new café. The improvements also included a new hydronic heating system, solar hot-water heating system and photovoltaic (PV) panels that enhance the property’s environmental efficiency and lower the overall community utility cost.
