One of the largest municipal micro-housing developments in the United States, Alexandria Park is a flagship bridge housing model in Los Angeles. Designed by Lehrer Architects with the City Bureau of Engineering and operated by Hope the Mission, 103 pre-fabricated Pallet™ micro-cabins sit in a preserved grove of mature park trees—providing dignity, safety, and a fast-track pathway off the streets for unhoused neighbors in the San Fernando Valley.

Home specifications & placement rules

Dimensional thresholds

Standardized 64 sq ft interior footprint per cabin. 103 standalone structures providing up to 200 total beds.

Aesthetic controls & covenants

Strict adherence to Lehrer Architects master color-wheel layouts. External paint, structural shell, or frame modifications prohibited. Placements woven around existing tree lines for natural cooling.

Sustainability & permaculture allowances

EarthNest-aligned buyers should confirm closed-loop systems against recorded park rules—not just municipal code.

Alternative waste systems

Composting and greywater bypass prohibited—all sanitation ties to municipal wastewater systems.

Off-grid adaptations

Integrated with city regional stormwater capture frameworks across Valley Plaza infrastructure lines.

Site edibles & gardens

Common green spaces prioritized; cabin placements preserve mature tree canopy for natural cooling—commercial kitchen serves 3 daily meals rather than resident garden plots.
