The proximity to existing jobs, shopping, cultural and entertainment activities enable residents to live, work, and play in one location without the dependence on automobiles. The Lex consists of 310 units (307 apartment units and three live/work units) in two separate buildings connected by a pedestrian bridge over the existing alley.
Design strategies included creating a unique architectural feature while following a pre-defined datum set by the Legendary Tower. The west facing façade is shielded by a solar screen integrated railing system to aesthetically reduce solar gain and the upper corner unit was removed to provide a resident roof deck and allow for reduced massing and articulation.
The design strategy on Central Avenue was to create a unique architectural feature while also following the floor lines or datum set by the Legendary Tower. The live/work units are pushed back from the back of sidewalk to align with ground floor of the Legendary Tower to create a continuous wall at the pedestrian level and have sliding doors to separate work space from living space.
The community amenities feature a pool and spa with private cabanas, free wifi and surround sound speakers, club lounge, a screening theater, outside courtyards, a roof top deck, and a state of the art inside/outside fitness facility.
