The designation for the neighborhood — built by the same developers of Levittown — was a “no brainer” for Historic Site Preservation Board members at their Tuesday evening meeting. (Photo: Claude Peck)The Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board voted unanimously Tuesday evening to recommend historic district designation for Sagewood Condominiums, a 107-unit residential complex designed by architect Donald Wexler and completed in 1972. The Sagewood Homeowners Association submitted the application for historic district designation, with 76 voting in favor of the nomination, representing 70% owner support. Wexler designed the complex in the mid-century modern aesthetic, while landscape architect David Hamilton created the site’s landscape design. City staff determined the property meets historic designation criteria for reflecting a particular period of local history, presenting the work of a master architect, and representing a significant entity whose components create distinction as a collective district.
