Ground Broken at 777 North Front Street, Burbank, Los Angeles

Ground has been broken at 777 North Front Street for the massive LaTerra Select project in Burbank, Los Angeles. The site will bring much-needed housing to Burbank, which has one of, if not the highest, shortages of housing to job ratios in the state, with employers such as Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, and Nickelodeon Animation located close by. The site will be the largest of LaTerra’s developments to date.

Designs show three buildings. There will be a total of 573 apartment units, 69 of which will be low-income housing. The hotel onsite will have an additional 307 rooms. LaTerra aims to receive LEED Gold certification, including many sustainable features such as drought-tolerant landscaping, electric vehicle charging stations, solar power integration, and enhanced air filters.

Amenities will include a 40,000 square foot rooftop deck with indoor and outdoor fitness areas, co-working spaces, media rooms, a pool, a spa, cabanas, and fire pits. A variety of transportation will be available. The site is 750 feet from a Metrolink station. Two-way bike lanes and a transit plaza with an elevator and stairway connecting to downtown Burbank, the site, and the Metrolink station will be created. There will be more than 1,500 parking spaces.

The design is by Urban Architecture Labs, with TCA Architects as the production architectural firm. Sound reducing features have been integrated into the plan, including a 10-foot sound wall and high-performance windows. The site is expected to open in 2023. The estimated cost of the project is $375 million.
