Simple, glassy, modern. Love it! I keep forgetting about these.

Two apartments towers sprout at 3545 Wilshire Boulevard

Across the street from Wilshire/Normandie Station

Steven Sharp
Urbanize Los Angeles
January 23, 2023

A half-year after our last update, the concrete frames of a two-tower residential development from Jamison Services, Inc. are starting to take shape at 3545 Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown.

Located across the street from the Wilshire/Normandie subway station, the project spans a half city block along the west side of Ardmore Avenue between Wilshire and 6th Street. Plans call for a combined total of 428 apartments and 10,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, served by an 850-car parking garage.

Designed by Gruen Associates, 3545 Wilshire features a 22-story building facing Wilshire and a 14-story structure fronting 6th Street to the north. An above-ground parking garage occupies the center of the site, splitting the two high-rise buildings.

Planned amenities include rooftop decks, a dog park, fitness centers, and a club room, as well as co-working spaces, a game room, a private screening room, and an indoor golf range.

At the time of the project's groundbreaking, a representative of Jamison Services indicated that construction was on pace to be completed within approximately 22 months. Under that timeline, the apartments would open for residents in 2024.

Jamison has pursued several alternatives for the 3545 Wilshire property over the past seven years. After considering a podium-type apartment complex for the property, which sits directly north of the Wilshire/Normandie Station, Jamison discarded that proposal in favor of a project featuring a taller 32-story tower facing Wilshire. However, after a feasibility found that a lower-scaled tower would reduce the overall project budget by approximately 20 percent and shorten its construction timeline, Jamison elected for the now under-construction project.

The towers at 3545 Wilshire follow a long list of Koreatown developments from Jamison Services, including an adaptive reuse project across the street and more than a dozen proposed and under construction ground-up buildings.

Hopefully this is better than the Great Park that replaced the El Toro Marine air base, which after about 25 years, is a balloon and some benches. What a tremendous missed opportunity that was.

I don't support any plan for the airport that doesn't turn some portion of it into housing. Santa Monica is deficient by tens of thousands of housing units . This airport could easily be a huge park and still add a couple thousand units of housing at least.

Site cleared for Target-anchored mixed-use project at 1000 S Vermont Avenue

Grubb Properties will build 228 apartments upstairs

Steven Sharp
Urbanize Los Angeles
January 25, 2023

In Pico-Union, heavy equipment is slowly razing the series of residential and commercial buildings which have long stood at the southeast corner of Olympic Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, clearing the way for a new mixed-use apartment complex from a North Carolina-based real estate development firm.

Grubb Properties, which acquired the project site at 1000 S. Vermont Avenue last year as part of its move into the Los Angeles market, is moving forward with an approved plan permitting the construction of an eight-story building which will feature 228 apartments - including 12 moderate-income units - above approximately 50,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and parking for up to 565 vehicles.

According to an October announcement from the developer, Target has already agreed to lease the ground-floor of the new building.

Urban Architecture Lab is designing the project, named Link Kora, which is depicted in renderings as a contemporary podium-type structure with a C-shaped footprint above the second floor. That would leave space for a large, landscaped amenity deck with a swimming pool overlooking Vermont Avenue.

The project site, which city records show was acquired for $20-million in February 2022, spans a full city-block which also has frontage along 11th Street to the south and Menlo Avenue to the east. Prior improvements include a gas station, a medical office building, and 32 existing housing units.

Grubb Properties, which advertises a focus on middle-income housing, has four additional projects in the works within the City of Los Angeles. Those include a 77-unit building slated for a nearby site on Berendo Street in Koreatown, a 128-unit mixed-use building on Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood, 151 apartments on Vine Street in Hollywood, and a 70-unit building north of the US-101 freeway on Western Avenue.

Per the announcement, Fred Shaffer of Saiko Investment, Matthew Stroyman of Blackridge Ventures, and Randall Reel of Allied Urban serve as local development partners for the five projects.

The color of those concrete rooms has me worried. It's the color of freeway overpasses. Don't know much about the construction process, but I hope there's some type of finish that improves the color. The last official statement said that LACMA would be a "natural grey" to complement the existing buildings. Hope this isn't it, because that's just plain old concrete shade we use for freeway.

I go back and forth, but I disagree here. West Los Angeles while an incredible place to live, lacks a signature park. An open space where people can walk, play, relax, etc.

Just about every world class city has one (Central Park, Golden Gate Park, etc).

As soon as you start carving up parts of the airport for housing, it'll likely evolve to those wanting other active uses (schools, offices, etc) and soon what could finally be Los Angeles' marquee Westside park is just another development.

I'd much rather see Downtown Santa Monica, everything down Wilshire and each of the Expo Line stops up-zoned vs. chunking up the airport.


There is plenty Santa Monica can do with infill given its good urban bones.

The intelligent decision would be to ring the park with housing, helping tie the open space into some form of urban fabric. As is, the park will be cut off from Santa Monica, and only accessible via automobile. Building an urban neighborhood around the park will only improve the park itself. Of course, this won't happen, but a man can dream!

Zero chance those renderings were made with any intention of actually building that.
