Van Nuys WELCOME HOME

For decades, Van Nuys Boulevard has been defined by its seemingly endless succession of car dealerships. Now, in what may be a sign of things to come, one local automobile empire has put one of its properties up for development. According to a document form the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council’s Planning and Land Use Committee, a residential-retail complex is planned for a 4.5-acre property adjacent to the Orange Line Busway. The rectancular site - located at 5949 Van Nuys Boulevard - would birth a project consisting of 324 residential units, 17,000 square feet of commercial floor area and slightly over one acre of open space.

According to plans filed last month with the City of Los Angeles, a vacant commercial building in Van Nuys is slated to give way for a new residential-retail complex. The project, located on a 1.2-acre property at 7111 N. Sepulveda Boulevard, would consist of a six-story building featuring 180 apartments and approximately 4,750 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Plans call for two levels of subterranean parking with accommodations for up to 327 vehicles and 204 bicycles.
