In honor of the Columbian mammoth tusk unearthed during structural excavation, this apartment building holds a unique name – LuLu. Rafn and AMLI recognized the value of preserving this piece of iconic local history and partnered with the Burke Museum to ensure the legacy of this great animal continues. The project was not delayed at all with construction carrying on while the tusk was successfully unearthed, preserved, and ultimately removed.
Apartments include studio, open-one, one-, and two bedroom configurations. High-end finishes throughout including interior design finish packages, stainless steel appliances, solid-surface countertops, oversized bathtubs, and energy-efficient operable windows.
The building’s environmentally friendly design and construction earned LEED Silver certification.
