Modular Affordable Housing Proposed at 2150 Venice Boulevard in Harvard Heights

A corner parcel along Venice Boulevard in Harvard Heights is being eyed for a new affordable housing development that would replace an existing auto repair use with a six-story residential building constructed using modular methods. Plans filed with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning in March outline a proposal at 2150 Venice Boulevard for a 69-unit apartment building developed by 2150 MSB Capital, LLC. The project, branded Venice Gardens, would occupy a prominent intersection site and introduce income-restricted housing without providing on-site vehicle parking.

Project materials describe a residential program composed almost entirely of one-bedroom apartments, all reserved for low- and moderate-income households, with the exception of a single manager’s unit. The absence of parking reflects the project’s affordable housing focus and its location along a major transit corridor.

Architecture for the proposal is being handled by KFA Architecture, with plans calling for a contemporary building assembled from prefabricated modular components. The modular approach is intended to streamline construction while maintaining a uniform building mass across the six-story structure.

The Venice Boulevard proposal sits within a growing cluster of affordable housing developments in the area. A separate low-income residential project has also been proposed a short distance east at 2225 Venice Boulevard, signaling continued interest in leveraging underutilized commercial parcels for income-restricted housing along the corridor.

If approved, the project would contribute nearly 70 deed-restricted apartments to a neighborhood where new residential construction has remained limited, while continuing the citywide shift toward higher-density, transit-oriented affordable housing development.
