First Altadena Like for Like into Plancheck
Our first Altadena rebuild like for like project was pretty smooth. The idea was that the proposed house would be in nearly the same footprint as the existing now gone house.
Our first Altadena rebuild like for like project was pretty smooth. The idea was that the proposed house would be in nearly the same footprint as the existing now gone house. The Architect wanted to smooth out some of the rear yard to create a better patio than what existed before.
This approach minimizes the amount of re-grading required and keeps the drainage pattern similar to what existed pre-fire. By maintaining the original drainage paths, we avoid triggering additional County requirements that would add cost and time to the rebuild.
The key to this project’s success was careful coordination with the Architect to ensure the proposed grades would work with the existing topography while creating a more usable outdoor space. Mount Curve Avenue - Like-for-like Altadena fire rebuild with sheet flow to street.

Rebuilding Altadena
Altadena first lot since the Eaton Fire, was sold recently on Calaveras Street for $100k above listing. Location and price wise this seems low to me, but also the buyer will have to wait a while before anything can happen.

Was doing some networking this week and getting to chit chat with Architects and developers about the fires has been most interesting.
