BUILDER STORY AMCAL, with offices in Agoura Hills, has been developing quality housing throughout California since 1978 to meet the needs of families and the communities in which they live. For the past several years, the firm has focused its expertise on developing high-quality urban multi-family housing that provides architecturally attractive, meticulously constructed and environmentally smart opportunities for affordable family living in both for-sale and rental properties. "We have a passion for creating dynamic urban neighborhoods that build a solid foundation for strong and lasting communities," said Percival Vaz, founder and president of AMCAL. "Here, in Lincoln Heights, we are making history, connecting people to an exciting past and a promising future. We are creating opportunities for families in a strategic location that is within minutes of downtown Los Angeles and surrounding employment centers, which provides easy access to schools and community services." The professionals at AMCAL understand that the process of reinvigorating a neighborhood is a complex and exciting one, requiring the cooperative efforts of existing residents, city governments, architectural designers, financing institutions, and construction professionals to build a dream that will last for generations to come. Many of AMCAL developments are funded through a valuable association with Phoenix Realty Group, a private real estate firm with offices in Los Angeles, San Diego and New York. Phoenix creates and manages smart growth equity funds to capitalize community-based development. Providing both institutional capital and additional development expertise, Phoenix is committed to financing the development of moderate-income workforce housing, urban infill projects and low-income tax-credit housing, all of which link housing and commercial development to employment centers. AMCAL has proven its commitment and expertise over the years with many acclaimed and award-winning projects in and around Los Angeles and in communities as diverse as Santa Barbara, Oak Park, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita, Desert Hot Springs and Victorville, among others. They have been recognized for excellence by both the City and County of Los Angeles and by the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara. AMCAL also has received awards from the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials and from the Building Industry Association of Southern California. |
