Named West Carson, construction is in its full swing for a large affordable housing complex on a property located just west of the I-110 Freeway. Plans call for the construction of a new seven-story complex featuring 230 residential units offered at affordable rates. The units will be designed as a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom dwellings. A two-level subterranean parking garage is also proposed within the building.

The affordable housing complex will be expressed in a façade that is red, white, and grey. The exterior is propose to be accented by black-framed recessed balconies when viewed from the west, and a white, black, and grey façade to the east, highlighted by a four-story mural. Proposed on-site open spaces include a community center and multiple courtyards.

The apartments, which are to be reserved for households earning between 30 and 70 percent of the area’s median income level, are on track for completion in 2026, according to a news release by Monarch Private Capital, which provided Low Income Housing financing for the project.

The project site is located near Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in unincorporated West Carson. The project joins a handful of other large housing developments now in the works nearby. That includes the West Carson Villas, a new affordable housing from PATH Ventures now rising less than one mile south of the hospital, as well as a proposed 525-unit development from GPI at 22107 S. Vermont Avenue. The construction completion date has not been announced yet.
