Ken Sarachan

A residence hall to be known as “The Enclave” is currently being constructed on an empty lot at the corner of Haste Street and Telegraph Avenue.

The lot’s owner, Ken Sarachan, was granted a permit to build the proposed residential structure in February 2017, and submitted a request to modify the permit on May 4.
