Redcar Properties aims to build a 75,000-square-foot office building in Santa Monica.
The Santa Monica-based developer has filed plans to construct the four-story building at 3122 Nebraska Avenue, Urbanize Los Angeles reported. It would replace two mid-century industrial buildings.
Plans call for a U-shaped complex above a three-level underground parking garage for 151 cars.
The project, designed by Minneapolis-based HGA, would be built of concrete, metal and wood, with soaring eaves and balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows trimmed in black. It would be topped by a rooftop deck.
“Operable windows, roof deck space and outdoor stairs further … engage the outdoors with the office environment,” according to a staff report to the city’s Architectural Review Board. “The landscaping is varied, textured and provides some visual accent against the monochromatic concrete and dark frame features.”
The 47-foot-tall building at Nebraska Avenue and Franklin Street, next to New Roads school, would be built just east of a site slated for what may be the largest residential project ever constructed in Santa Monica.
At 3030 Nebraska Avenue, a builder’s remedy application could result in the construction of a 15-story highrise featuring 2,000 homes.
Redcar — run by Jim Jacobsen, a former co-president of Lee & Associates/West L.A. — has developed similar projects in its home town.
It has also built projects in Culver City and in Chinatown. In August, construction was underway for its five-story office complex in Chinatown, among the first in Los Angeles built of cross-laminated timber.
