It offers 26 studio units designed to serve very low and extremely low-income developmentally disabled adults. The project focuses on providing housing opportunities and support to this underserved population, enabling them to live comfortably and independently.

The community offers a range of amenities, including on-site management and maintenance staff, resident coordination services, a laundry facility, a community room and lounge, computer lab, and picnic areas with BBQ facilities. Each unit is wired for internet access, and energy-efficient windows enhance the overall sustainability of the development.
1585 Studios stands as a model of sustainable living, exemplifying its commitment to environmental responsibility. Registered with the US Green Building Council and honored with a prestigious LEED Platinum rating, this development prioritizes healthy living, cost-efficiency, and reduced automobile dependency.. At the heart of this dedication to well-being is an emphasis on indoor air quality. The building's choice of materials, including paints, finishes, adhesives, cabinets, carpets, and resilient linoleum flooring, feature low volatile compounds and minimal off-gassing properties. This design choice ensures that tenants and staff breathe clean, toxin-free air, mitigating potential health risks. Additionally, resilient flooring and long-lasting carpeting surpass industry standards for durability, promising extended longevity. The commitment to sustainability extends to energy conservation, significantly reducing operational expenses. The development achieves this through meticulous insulation, responsible water use, and the integration of efficient plumbing and electrical fixtures. A well-insulated and well-ventilated structure minimizes the energy required for heating and cooling, simultaneously enhancing indoor air quality. By reducing energy consumption, 1585 Studios not only benefits its common areas but also lowers energy costs for its valued residents.
