Construction scheduled for 48 months, finishing in 2022. That would mean a groundbreaking date of 2018.

A project like this can really change that section of Hollywood. For me the most noticeable thing about the renderings is the parking lots to the north and east of it. Silverstein needs to sit this one out....Hollywood and highland is a few blocks north of this, so its barely pushing the "T.O.D" mark, but if it gets built, those parking lots will for sure see development soon after.

But to be honest it wont happen. I would love for it to happen to add to the little downtown cluster that Hollywood is becoming but based on the renderings, I see way to much ammunition for the nimbys and silverstein and the jerk judge who will side with them just to get the case over with quickly.

Just pray it doesn't become the worlds largest 7 story wooden/shit box.

Nice to see new development in Lincoln Heights. Old industrial complex next to Lincoln Heights/Cypress Park Gold Line Station adding three new buildings, becoming mixed-use development with live-work residential, low-income housing, commercial offices and retail.

Are they restoring and re-purposing, or are they tearing the buildings down for new development? From your website it seems like the former, but with this post it sounds like the latter.

Partial walk by of "Access Culver City" in Culver City, catercorner to the Culver City Expo Line Station. They started putting in the windows a few weeks ago

Can second that. The building is pretty charming so I'm excited to see what's going to happen.

King Kill 'em · #**6371** Posted **Oct 24, 2015, 1:53 AM**

IMO only the brick part should be restored. The other part should be torn down and a few stories of residential built. Otherwise they wouldn't hit the amount of density they could get out of this site.

The latest project planned at the Washington/National, next to the Expo Line's Culver City Station. 30,000 square feet of office space, 80 residential units, 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

Illithid Dude · #**6373** Posted **Oct 26, 2015, 3:06 PM**

Culver City leading the way in TOD. I love how the Expo Line stop has turned what was once a sea of parking lots in to a full-fledged urban walkable community.

Eightball · #**6374** Posted **Oct 26, 2015, 5:05 PM**

^^^ agreed, it is remarkable

NSMP · #**6375** Posted **Oct 26, 2015, 5:15 PM**

Soon to be 15 minutes from the beach by train and even closer to tech jobs like those at colorado center at the 26th st expo station. As crosstown rail, expo leaves much to be desired but there's really no overstating how huge it will be for the west side.

King Kill 'em · #**6376** Posted **Oct 26, 2015, 9:46 PM**

The Culver City station is now up there with North Hollywood, Wilshire and Vermont, Hollywood and Vine, etc. for spurring the most development around it.

Great design. That's exactly how you break up monolithic structures so that they aren't as visually oppressive.

Fingers crossed that this and the Ivy Statio project across the street come to fruition. I worry that Culver City will follow in the same NIMBY footsteps as Santa Monica, although granted this is directly adjacent to a rail station.

bzcat · #**6378** Posted **Oct 27, 2015, 12:12 AM**

I have some reservation about that "plaza" in the middle of the building. It's not open air (the third level of the building overhangs it) and it only connects to parking surface parking lot inside the building. Seems like it will be a dead space that doesn't really do anything expect attract homeless people at night.

But the rest of the building is ok. The scale is good and the setback is good. I'm on the fence about the split personality look of the building but I'll take this over any building that has an asshat any day.

It's pretty clear they haven't this far. People in Culver either aren't paying attention to the development in their town or they dont care or want more of it because they're chill

Culver City residents seem to value the small-town feel of their community. I think the mayor herself may have hinted at this:
