Costa Mesa, California
Located in the heart of Orange County’s growing Performing Arts District, 3400 Avenue of the Arts (formerly The Lakes) is a 25 year old 700 unit luxury apartment community owned by AIMCO. As one of the REIT’s top performing portfolio properties, AIMCO’s goal to renovate and reposition the property led to MLA’s commission to transform and energize the outdoor experience. In keeping with its theatrical location, the design theme is bold, modern and dramatic, from the custom stainless steel gates to the outdoor kitchen and bar, resort-style pool, outdoor fi replace living room, to the numerous water features, some with fi repots. This metamorphosis has made 3400 Avenue of the Arts one of the most desired apartment properties in Orange County.
