Support Proposed 20-Unit Mixed-Use Project in Venice

In 2022, BizFed supported a housing project by Crest Real Estate that sought to transform a vacant building into a 9-unit housing project with ground floor commercial. The good news is that after several changes, it's being brought to LA City's Planning Commission as a 26,889 square-foot, five story, mixed-use building consisting of 20 residential units.

This project is slated to include:

• A set aside of 4 units for low income residents
• 3,676 square-feet of commercial space
• 2,098 square feet of indoor dining
• 656 square feet of office uses
• Roof deck with a solar trellis and a roof access structure, providing 28 parking spaces.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

The proposed mixed-use project would provide much needed housing opportunities for those who work in Venice and the job-heavy westside. Typically, housing is the catalyst in creating and expanding commercial neighborhood serving uses and retail service in a given area. Additionally, the project will serve as an attraction for new residents and create more recreational, entertainment, and shopping opportunities in the established community.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

The LA City Planning Commission will be meeting this Thursday March 12 to consider the project. It will be Item #8 on the agenda. We ask that you click on the alert below to send a support email to the City's Planning Commission urging them to move the project forward.
