A new apartment building has been proposed for development at 12518 Venice Boulevard in Mar Vista. The project proposal includes the construction of a four-story apartment complex featuring co-living apartments and onsite parking. The project replaced three smaller buildings totaling 11 dwellings.
Gruen Associates is responsible for the designs.

Construction is underway for a new co-living apartment complex; a four-story building which will feature 19 apartments on its upper floors and parking below. However, the apartments are to be rented out in a co-living style arrangement, implying that the project will offer 112 total beds in a series of six-bedroom suites. Each suite will feature a private bathroom, a shared kitchen, and a common room.

Renderings reveal a building setup around a central courtyard, supporting further community interactions with gathering spaces at the courtyard floor, the landscaped rooftop and an interior lounge at the ground floor. The building’s circulation is within the courtyard, which is joined by suspended bridges at all levels creating a dynamic sculptural centerpiece. Within the courtyard, a wire trellis system with vines serves as a unifying feature that extends the height of the building that can be enjoyed from all levels of the building. The modulated façade facing Venice Boulevard is expressive of the co-living model through its articulation of individual living spaces tied into a unified whole.
The project site is located one block west of Centinela Avenue and also one block west of the Charlie, a new mixed-use apartment complex recently built by LaTerra Development.
