TORRANCE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 27, 2013) - Storm Properties, Inc. and sister residential building company Storm Western Development, Inc. have added Steven Chaparro as senior project manager for the Torrance-based businesses.
In his new position, Chaparro is responsible for the development and completion of construction assignments, including assisting in the design, contracting and construction of active and upcoming projects. The latest undertaking is a new CVS Pharmacy, now under construction in Phase I of its Storm Plaza retail center, located at the northwest corner of Sepulveda Boulevard and Normandie Avenue in Torrance.
Storm Western has received tentative tract map approval for Cypress Pointe, a 16-home, small-lot, detached community at Pacific Coast Highway and Cypress Street in Lomita. The neighborhood is expected to complete the approval process and begin construction in 2014.
