AXIS’ Weingart Tower Affordable Housing Project Wins Three Industry Awards

January 09, 2025

Earlier this summer, AXIS proudly celebrated the grand opening of our Weingart Tower 1 project – the largest permanent supportive housing development in Los Angeles’ history. A project on behalf of the Weingart Center and Chelsea Investment Corporation, AXIS proudly served as architects on the project in coordination with design consultants Joseph Wong Design Associates.

One of the rooftop balcony areas in the Weingart Tower, the largest affordable housing project in Los Angeles, designed by affordable housing and multi-family residential architects AXIS Architecture + Design.

In the few months since its opening, Weingart Tower has been honored by being named the winner of three significant design and community awards.

In September, Weingart Tower 1 was named Project of the Year in the Multi-Family Development, Supportive Housing category by the Southern California Association for Non-Profit Housing (SCANPH) at their annual Homes Within Reach Awards. The awards annually recognize and honor excellence in the Southern California and West Coast affordable housing industry.

In October, the project was named the Los Angeles Business Council’s 54th Annual Architectural Awards winner in the Housing Projects – Multi-Family Affordable category. Selected by a panel of Los Angeles business leaders, the awards annually celebrate projects that embrace innovative design that enhances the lives of Los Angeles residents.

Also in October, and with particular recognition of our construction project partners Swinerton, Emerson Construction, DCI Engineers, and National Ready Mix, Weingart Tower 1 was named the American Concrete Institute California Chapter’s Concrete Project of the Year in their High-Rise Buildings category.

Congratulations to all of our project partners for their well-earned recognition on this amazing and impactful project.
