Fifty-one of the homes at Atmosphere are designated as permanent supportive housing for San Diegans with special needs. Common spaces include a community meeting room, computer room and several multi-purpose rooms. Outdoor passive and recreational spaces are included at ground level as well as a community roof garden on the 8th level. The project is designed and developed to achieve a LEED Certification of Silver or better with construction expected to be complete in February 2017.
