Caliente Duplex Rises From Ground

by Mike Van Houten / Jun 17, 2015

The Tonopah Lofts aren't the only lofts rising from the ground in Midtown. Marmot Properties' first from-scratch project has gone vertical on Caliente and is part of a 3-tier project that includes a swarm of new units and renovations.

130 Caliente is  a sweet new unit added to 128 Caliente with 10’ ceilings, 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths and office.  The existing 128 Caliente is also newly renovated and nice inside with a lot of original detail.  124/126 Caliente are 1 bedroom 1 bath with sleeping loft master bedroom additions to the existing duplex.  130.5 Caliente is the loft duplex pictured below.

If architect Mike McGonagle keeps up this pace, he'll out-loft even the Queens of lofts, Haberae, whose lofty portfolio includes Dozen @ Deluxe, 11 @ the Firehouse, 2 Cubes on Stewart and more.

    Great job by the architect & developer to come up with a project that matches – or at least tries to compliment – the surrounding neighborhood ... sheesh.

    I should add that I like the Tonopah Lofts right around the corner, but that's part of a larger city-block redevelopment and is not shoehorned between existing Victorian & brick-styled homes. Will this duplex be as "radically" styled as the Tonopah Lofts, or are there concessions being made to try to be at least decent neighbors?

    Sara Lee, Caliente is a completely different product for a different client than Tonopah. In fact, the units are about half the size to fit into the existing neighborhood. I am very contextualist on all my projects, but take that to mean matching scale and massive more that mimicing details. 130.5 Caliente could have been more respectful of its neighbors by keeping the scale as petite as possible, but Planning insisted on a top-hat roof which increases the overall impact. Midtown Residential Zoning has a MAXIMUM allowable setback from the street, which is why the front yards will be smaller than I would have liked (same condition at Cottage Row on Mount Rose Street). I'll be very interested to read you opinion on what the Tonopah model looks like dressed in a more traditional style on Stewart/Sinclair.
