Howard CDM

Our Annual Holiday Party was filled with everything that makes this team so special. We came together, dressed up, celebrated 2025 and created memories that reminded us how lucky we are to work with such an incredible group of people.🎄

Special thanks to for hosting us another year with delicious food, drinks & desserts!

Yesterday we had the incredible honor of joining our partners and community leaders for the groundbreaking of the Young Korean Academy, also known as Hung Sa Dahn. This project carries deep historical and cultural meaning for Los Angeles and for the Korean American community.

Founded in 1913 by Korean independence leader Dosan Ahn Chang-Ho, the Young Korean Academy has long represented unity, education, service and a commitment to building strong future leaders. Now the site will begin an important new chapter with a thoughtfully reimagined space that preserves its history while creating a home for future generations to gather and learn.

Our team at Howard CDM is truly proud to help bring this vision forward with construction work that honors the past and builds for the future.

We are excited to share progress as the project moves ahead and to see this landmark restored to its role as a meaningful cultural center for the community.

Wrapped up the year with our Annual HCDM Holiday Party! Special thanks to The Greatest Neighborhood Café for their beautiful space, delicious food, and festive drinks. We greatly appreciate those who contributed to our raffle prizes and look forward to continuing partnership in 2025. Cheers to 2024 and the year ahead!

Happy New Year! 🥂

Howard CDM is thrilled to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Studio One Elevenleven for the well-deserved recognition of the Watts Works project with the AIA Los Angeles Residential Honor Award for Architectural Design in the Affordable Housing category.

The permanent supportive housing project, providing 25 units for unhoused residents in Los Angeles, stands out with its spacious community room, long-term bicycle storage, outdoor dining area, and tranquil garden. The modular design's clever use of color, light, and well-proportioned courtyards has created a strong sense of community while maintaining privacy and fostering interaction.

As the General Contractor on this project, Howard CDM is proud to have played a role in bringing this vision to life. It was a privilege to work alongside your incredible team, whose dedication and creativity were instrumental in achieving this remarkable outcome.

We're thrilled to announce the groundbreaking of Berkeley Station, our latest project aimed at revolutionizing affordable housing in Santa Monica!

Located at 1342 Berkeley Street in Santa Monica, this four-story building will offer 13 one-bedroom apartments, including five for transition-aged youth (18-24). These apartments will be offered at 50% of the area median income and eight for families at 30% of the area median income. Designed by Brooks + Scarpa Architects, the 11,000-square-foot structure will feature prefabricated modular units and cement panel cladding. Residents will enjoy outdoor spaces and a community garden, all made possible with the City of Santa Monica's support of approximately $10 million in funding. Exciting times ahead for affordable housing!

At Howard CDM, we're committed to creating innovative solutions for housing challenges. Berkeley Station is a testament to our dedication to quality, affordability, and sustainability. Stay tuned for updates as we work towards bringing this vision to life!

🍀Happy St. Patrick's Day!🍀We had some very green food, fashion and festivities in the office today. Thanks to everyone who planned and participated in the fun!

Yesterday, we celebrated the official groundbreaking of Oatsie's Place, a permanent supportive and affordable housing development in Van Nuys! Named in honor of Marylouise "Oatsie" Oates, the development will include 46 units to serve women and families including trauma survivors.
 
Please enjoy these photos of the event and join us in celebrating this incredible project!

Construction on the Watts Works affordable housing community is almost complete! To celebrate, we brought the team out to the site for a day of tours, tacos and team bonding.

Once complete, Watts Works will provide 24 studio apartments, a community room, a laundry room, service provider offices and long-term bicycle parking dedicated to formerly homeless individuals and people with severe mental illness.

Our Partake Collective project in Long Beach has been in the news lately! Once constructed, Partake will offer private ghost kitchens, communal kitchens and test and show kitchens for small businesses and food entrepreneurs. It will also feature a public common area for customers to pick up to-go orders, a food hall component for optional on-site dining and a retail area for locally made products.
