Palms WELCOME HOME

Palms’s shabby three-mile stretch of Venice Boulevard is flanked by an assortment of strip malls and drive-thru restaurants. Perhaps a new mixed-use development will finally begin the process of converting the auto-centric corridor into a more liveable environment. Earlier this month, plans were filed with LADCP for a residential-retail complex at 10300 Venice Boulevard. City records indicate that the low-rise structure would vary from four to five stories in height, containing 34 residential units above 2,000 square feet of ground-level commercial space.

According to a mitigated negative declaration published by the Los Angeles Department of City Planning, an approximately half-acre site in Palms may birth to a new mixed-use development Plans were filed with the city last December for the Roy @ Overland, a six-story residential-retail complex at 3644-3658 South Overland Avenue. The project, slated to replace a series of one-story commercial structures, would include 92 residential units, roughly 1,600 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space, and an underground garage with parking accommodations for 105 vehicles and 109 bicycles.

California Landmark Group (CLG), a Los Angeles-based real estate developer, is planning a new residential complex along the border between the Palms neighborhood and Culver City. The project, known as the Dunn Apartments, would replace an approximately half-acre parking lot at 3838 Dunn Drive. The proposed building would rise seven stories, featuring 79 market rate apartments, seven units of affordable housing and a partially below-grade garage. Proposed amenities include a fitness center, a community room and a nearly 2,000-square-foot roof deck.

Construction has commenced for a $16-million mixed-use complex in Palms. The Roy @ Overland, slated for a half-acre site at 3644-3658 Overland Avenue, will consist of a six-story building featuring 92 apartments, approximately 1,500 square feet of retail space, and underground parking accommodations for 105 vehicles and 109 bicycles. City records indicate that the project would include a mixture of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, including eight units reserved for very-low income households.

Renderings have emerged for 10601 Washington Boulevard, a mixed-use complex now under construction on the border between Culver City and the Palms neighborhood. The seven-story building, which is being developed by the real estate firm Greystar, will contain 135 studio, one-and two-bedroom apartments and slightly over 14,000 square feet of ground-level commercial space. The project utilizes density bonus incentives in exchange for providing 11 units of low income housing. Plans call for a number of residential amenities, including a fitness center, a swimming pool, a rooftop deck and parking accommodations for 294 vehicles and 179 bicycles.
