Chinatown's Blossom Plaza Crosses the Finish Line

Architecture firm Johnson Fain has announced the opening of Blossom Plaza, a mixed-use development adjacent to the Metro Gold Line's Chinatown Station.

Located at 900 N. Broadway, the project consists of two five-story structures featuring 237 apartments, of which 20% are reserved as affordable housing. A paseo lined by approximately 20,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space cuts between the buildings, connecting to a large plaza adjacent to the elevated light rail station. Parking for residents, retail customers and Metro passengers is situated in a garage beneath the development.

The design of Blossom Plaza draws on traditional Chinese architecture, while also incorporating contemporary shapes and colors.
