Bristol acquired 6 acres of vacant land in 2000, which had previously been entitled for a commercial use. Bristol identified a shortage in senior affordable housing within the City of Santa Clarita, and proposed a zone change to allow for the development of multi-family residential, which was embraced and approved by the City of Santa Clarita. Bristol constructed the 200-unit project in 2002, and when it opened its doors in 2003, it was virtually 100% pre-leased to senior citizens (55 years of age or older).
