Congratulations to KEPHART community :: planning :: architecture, which was awarded top honors at NAHB's Multifamily Council at the Pillars Industry Awards for Multifamily Community of the Year at NAHB's Multifamily Council at the Pillars Industry Awards October 3. KEPHART, along with building owner UDI and developer Peak West Development, won the award for its Marina del Ray, CA project, The Westerly on the Lincoln. Along with that prestigious award, The Westerly on the Lincoln was named Best Conversion/Repositioning of a Multifamily Asset.

"The Westerly was full of opportunities for improving lifestyle and creating a signature community," said John Binder, AIA, KEPHART architect. "With the input of a thoughtful client, we developed a cost-effective design that focused on making an impact for future residents and improving quality of life for current residents. Most gratifying for us in repositioning this community was seeing the before, envisioning what it could be and then experiencing the transformation."
