Mayor Karen Bass joined with BRIDGE Housing and the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles
(HACLA) Tuesday to celebrate the grand opening of Cypress View, a new affordable housing community within the $1-billion redevelopment of the Jordan Downs public housing complex in Watts.
Cypress View features 119 new apartment homes ranging up to five bedrooms in size, including 106 units
affordable for families earning 30%-80% of the Area Median Income and one manager’s unit. The remaining 12 apartments are offered at market rates. Twenty units are reserved for previous Jordan Downs residents.
“The opening of Cypress View marks an exciting milestone in the decade-long revitalization of Jordan
Downs that will serve families and strengthen the Watts community for generations to come,” said BRIDGE Housing president and CEO Ken Lombard.
Cypress View is BRIDGE Housing’s fourth community in the Jordan Downs redevelopment, following
Kalmia Rose (76 apartments), Cedar Grove (115 apartments) and Park Place (80 apartments). BRIDGE
plans to develop three additional communities as part of the HACLA-led revitalization, one of the
nation’s largest urban revitalization projects.
