Sandstone Properties is hoping to take advantage of the tech and office resurgence in Culver City with a boutique hotel project.

The Los Angeles-based firm plans to build a 175-room hotel, rising at 11469 Jefferson Boulevard, Urbanize reported. The five-story building would also include restaurant space. It would replace a 12,600-square-foot strip mall.

The project is designed by Nakada Partners, but the developer has not submitted an application to the city yet. Sandstone purchased the site in 2014 for $4.6 million, records show.
