Santa Rosa welcomes one of the first new housing developments built since the Tubbs fire
The Felix apartment building in downtown Santa Rosa, California, was one of the first major housing developments built since the 2017 Tubbs fire that destroyed a portion of the area's housing stock. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, 5,636 residential, commercial and other structures were destroyed in the area, and 317 were damaged. That affected about 5% of the city's housing stock, according to the David Baker Architects website, the architect and interior designer of Felix.
