And at Soquel Drive at Thurber Lane



Those who have been around Santa Cruz for more than a few years will remember this site as the long-vacant corner of Thurber Lane where a big Christmas tree lot used to set up every year, on Soquel Drive just east of Dominican Hospital. The Anton/Devco development firm is now proposing a five-building project on the corner site, with 188 apartments. The rendering below is a by the developer, looking from Soquel Drive, with Thurber Lane on the left. More information, and a complete plan set, are available from the Anton Solana website
