Named after its location at the intersection of the 110 and 105 freeways, Isla Intersections will open its doors in 2024. Just north of Harbor Gateway, at the intersection of Broadway and Imperial Highway, Isla Intersections will provide 53 new one-bedroom permanent supportive housing units when it opens. Holos Communities is proud that Isla has been chosen as a winner of the 2021 Sustainability Awards, recognizing excellence in coordinating land use and transportation to improve mobility, livability, prosperity and sustainability.
Isla utilizes an innovative construction method in the form of shipping containers strategically oriented to minimize noise and air pollution from the nearby freeways. The development will feature a public space named the Annenberg Paseo, containing a lush landscape called a living lung comprised of carefully selected trees that will clean the air nearby. The living lung will be irrigated by a greywater system, and the landscaping will also reduce noise and light pollution from the surrounding freeways.
Please note that images and pictures are initial concepts and will be developed further as the project progresses.

Isla is well served by several Metro light rail and bus lines, including the Green line, bus routes 45 (Broadway/Imperial), and 81 (Figueroa/Imperial). Durango Market, a local grocery store, is a 6-minute walk from the site and offers tenants produce, local goods and homemade food.
As part of Holos Communities’ focus on small business resiliency, Isla will feature two small commercial spaces that will act as a gateway between Isla, its residents, and the greater community. These small commercial spaces will be leased to local small businesses catering to neighborhood needs.
