Planning Services

When Park Plaza Homeowners Association envisioned a façade and common area upgrade project to modernize their buildings and improve aesthetics and property values, they retained Stonemark for planning services. The Santa Monica complex, built in 1975, is comprised of 88 units in two six-story towers, over two levels of subterranean parking. The repair concept included upgraded façades, balcony railings, relocated pool, exterior hardscape and landscape, and interior lobby and common area improvements. Stonemark first coordinated a market analysis and feasibility study to determine whether improvements were possible and cost-effective. Working with the architect, structural engineer and the City of Santa Monica, we defined project options, developed a detailed project plan and total project budget to create the most viable and cost effective project.

Our firm collaborated with Stonemark on the complete exterior renovation of this 65-unit faculty housing project that had suffered extensive water intrusion problems for over 25 years. While Stonemark championed the overall repair scheme, architecturally it was a challenging project. The buildings were of a contemporary style that permitted little tolerance for waterproofing detailing. Stonemark’s expertise was invaluable to the team in developing solutions to these technical requirements. As construction managers, Stonemark coordinated the board, UCSB, homeowners, contractors, the City of Santa Barbara permitting process and the entire project to its successful completion. Their oversight kept the project running smoothly and allowed us to focus on design and give the Client not only leak free buildings but great overall value.
