Nok Nok is a mixed-use rental building on a 7,000 square foot site in North Park, a block off the El Cajon Boulevard transit corridor with its rapid bus and bike lanes. Twenty-eight apartments sit above a ground-floor coffee shop that keeps the sidewalk active.
The rents are market rate and unsubsidized: affordability comes from efficient planning and sharply reduced parking rather than a subsidy. The building works with the site's gentle slope, alley access and existing utilities, and the upper units look west over North Park.
