LPC West eyes more than 300 apartments in Culver City

LPC West wants to build a 309-unit apartment complex in Culver City.

The West Coast arm of Dallas-based Lincoln Property has filed plans to build the six-story complex at 5700 Hannum Avenue in Fox Hills, Urbanize Los Angeles reported. 

It would replace a two-story, 30,700-square-foot office building, built in 1979 and revamped eight years ago, according to Loopnet.

Plans for its redevelopment include 309 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments above 5,600 square feet of ground-floor shops and restaurants. A two-level basement parking garage would serve 428 cars.

The complex would have a central courtyard, a gym, community rooms and a rooftop deck. A plaza along Hannum Avenue would be open to the public.

The Downtown L.A.-based LPC West would employ density bonus incentives to allow a larger building than allowed under zoning rules in exchange for 27 affordable apartments for very low-income households.

The project, designed by locally based KFA Architecture, features a white complex with some floor-to-ceiling windows, and inset and external balconies, according to sketches. The bottom two floors would contain glass-covered storefronts, or gray brick apartments with outdoor patios.

Pending approvals, the apartment building could break ground in early 2025 and be completed in late 2027.

In the past decade, LPC West has been active in developing Culver City. In early 2021, LPC and Downtown L.A.-based Clarion Partners built a 128,000-square-foot office complex at 8777 Washington Boulevard, which they pre-leased to Apple.

Later that year, LPC and Clarion announced a four-story, 150,000-square-foot complex spanning 3817, 3835 and 3855 Watseka Avenue, in Downtown.

LPC and Broad Street Principal Investments then built the 280,000-square-foot Entrada office complex west of the 405 Freeway at 6163 Centinela Avenue.
