Crystal Pacific Supplies Windows for New Affordable Farmworker Housing Community in King City

The project reflects Crystal Pacific’s continued commitment to supporting communities with high-quality, energy-efficient window solutions for multifamily residential construction. Located at 260 Legacy Drive, King City, CA, the development consists of five two-story residential buildings with a total of 40 apartment homes. Thirty of those apartments are reserved for farmworker families, helping address the growing demand for quality, affordable housing for the agricultural workforce in California’s Central Coast. Crystal Pacific is supplying 407 white Vista Series vinyl windows for the project, representing a contract valued at approximately $142,000. Designed for lasting durability, energy efficiency, and low-maintenance performance, the Vista Series is an ideal solution for affordable housing developments that require dependable, long-term value. This project represents the successful completion of a relationship that began several years ago. Lorena Garcia (One for Crystal Pacific’s Sales Executives) first submitted a proposal in June 2022, and after continued collaboration with CHISPA/CCRB, was officially awarded the project in June 2026. Window production will begin in August of 2026, marking an important milestone in bringing this community to life. “At Crystal Pacific, we believe every family deserves a home built with quality products that will perform for years to come,” said Adrian Brito, Marketing and Creative Design Coordinator at Crystal Pacific. “We’re proud to partner with organizations like CHISPA and Central Coast Residential Builders that are committed to expanding access to affordable housing for hardworking families throughout California.” As construction moves forward, Crystal Pacific is honored to play a role in a development that will provide safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient homes for farmworker families while supporting the long-term growth of the King City community.

Advanced Window Solutions for Today’s Architectural Projects
As building codes continue to evolve and demand greater energy efficiency, architects, developers, and building owners are seeking window systems that deliver exceptional performance without compromising aesthetics. Modern fenestration solutions must balance thermal efficiency, structural integrity, and contemporary design, all while supporting the long-term sustainability goals of today’s projects. At Crystal Pacific Windows & Doors, we understand the importance of creating products that meet the challenges of modern construction. From multi-family developments and hospitality projects to commercial and mixed-use buildings, today’s architectural designs require window systems that maximize daylight, enhance occupant comfort, and contribute to overall building performance. Designed for Modern Architecture Contemporary architecture continues to favor clean lines, expansive glass, and minimal visual barriers between indoor and outdoor spaces. Slim-profile window systems allow designers to increase visible glass area, bringing in more natural light while creating a sleek, modern appearance that complements today’s building styles. These advanced window designs provide flexibility for a wide range of applications, including new construction and renovation projects. Available in fixed and operable configurations, they can be combined in countless arrangements to meet both performance and design objectives. Performance Beyond Code Requirements Energy efficiency has become a critical component of building design. High-performance window systems featuring advanced thermal break technology help reduce heat transfer, improve occupant comfort, and support compliance with increasingly stringent energy codes. When paired with modern insulated glass packages, these window systems can achieve outstanding thermal performance, helping reduce energy consumption while contributing to sustainability initiatives and long-term operational savings. Beyond energy efficiency, structural performance remains equally important. Robust frame construction and engineered components help ensure durability, weather resistance, and reliable operation in demanding environments, including mid-rise and high-rise applications. Enhanced Comfort and Acoustic Performance Today’s building occupants expect more than energy efficiency. Acoustic performance has become a key consideration for urban developments, hospitality properties, educational facilities, and multi-family housing. Advanced glazing options can significantly reduce exterior noise transmission, creating quieter, more comfortable interior spaces. Combined with energy-efficient glass packages, these solutions provide a comprehensive approach to occupant comfort and building performance. Design Flexibility for Architects and Developers Architects value products that offer both performance and creative freedom. Modern window systems support a variety of glazing options, custom finishes, color combinations, and configuration possibilities that allow projects to achieve a unique architectural identity. From custom color finishes and two-tone interior/exterior aesthetics to specialty glass and decorative grid options, today’s window systems provide the versatility needed to complement virtually any façade design. Additional features such as opening control devices, accessibility-compliant hardware, and specialized installation accessories further expand design and functionality options for project teams. Built for the Future As the construction industry continues to prioritize sustainability, resilience, and occupant well-being, high-performance window systems will play an increasingly important role in building design. By combining modern aesthetics, superior energy efficiency, structural strength, and long-term durability, advanced window technologies help create buildings that are prepared for the future while delivering lasting value today. At Crystal Pacific Windows & Doors, we remain committed to developing innovative products that help architects, developers, and builders bring their visions to life—crafted with passion, built to perform.
The Best Multifamily Project of 2025: Magnolia Gardens
Crystal Window & Door Systems, in New York, continues to lead the commercial vinyl window market with its latest contribution to Magnolia Gardens, a thoughtfully designed transitional housing community located at 39-03 College Point Boulevard in Flushing, NY. This new ground-up development delivers 90 units of critically needed housing for families and children seeking stability, combining modern architectural expression with long-term sustainability. For this project, Crystal supplied high-performance commercial MAGNUS Series 4500 uPVC windows, including casement and fixed configurations engineered to meet the demands of large-scale, energy-efficient construction. Magnolia Gardens has also received industry recognition, being featured in the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal and earning Crystal the Best Multifamily Project of 2025 award from Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal (MAREJ). The building’s striking L-shaped design features a vibrant six-story corner façade complemented by more traditional seven-story elements. Inside, residents benefit from bright, well-appointed living spaces enhanced by expansive window configurations that maximize natural light and exterior views. Engineered for Performance Crystal’s MAGNUS Series 4500 windows played a key role in supporting the building’s environmental goals. Designed with advanced uPVC framing, these windows combine the structural strength of aluminum with the superior thermal efficiency and sound insulation of vinyl—making them an ideal solution for modern multifamily construction. The project incorporated 273 MAGNUS Series 4500 windows, many configured as large, multi-lite systems using master frames and T-mullion combinations. These included inswing casements paired with fixed lites, as well as integrated solutions featuring HVAC louvers and insulated panels to meet specific building requirements. Large-format window combinations—spanning up to 72” x 72” horizontally and 48” x 82” vertically—provide expansive daylighting while maintaining structural integrity and thermal performance. Advanced Glass & Sustainability All units were outfitted with 1-1/4” insulated glass units (IGUs), incorporating high-performance low-E coatings and laminated glass options to enhance energy efficiency, occupant safety, and acoustic comfort. These systems contribute to Magnolia Gardens’ compliance with Enterprise Green Communities standards and Passive House (PHIUS) design principles—supporting reduced energy consumption and long-term building performance. Built for Community Impact Beyond performance, Magnolia Gardens represents a meaningful investment in community wellbeing. Developed in partnership with leading organizations focused on housing accessibility, the project provides not only shelter, but also critical support services including job training, financial counseling, and family resources. Residents also benefit from thoughtfully designed amenities such as a landscaped courtyard, community spaces, and dedicated learning environments. At Crystal, every project reflects a commitment to quality, performance, and purpose—delivering solutions that are not only built to last, but built to make a difference. Crafted with passion. Built to perform.
