Over the past couple of weeks, we took some time to reflect on some of L.A.'s biggest real estate, architecture, and urban planning stories of 2022. But with the calendar flip to January, it's time to look forward. Here's a preview of some projects that could be making headlines during 2023.
A block north of Expo/Bundy Station, Hines is putting the finishing the West Edge, a mixed-use office and housing complex on the former site of Martin Cadillac.
Located at the northwest corner of Bundy Drive and Olympic Boulevard, the project includes two buildings featuring a total of 600 apartments, including 120 units of workforce and very low-income affordable housing, accompanied by 200,000 square feet of office space and 90,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.
While the housing will await tenants over a lease-up period, we already know who is coming to the West Edge's commercial space. League of Legends maker Riot Games, which is headquartered out of a neighboring campus to the north, agreed to take all 200,000 square feet of office space in 2021. Meanwhile, Gelson's will anchor the ground floor of the property, with 36,000 square feet of space.
Completion is expected soon.
While the project may be the first big development to sprout next to Expo/Bundy Station, it will not be the last. Carmel Partners has plans to redevelop single-family homes to the south of the elevated station with more than 600 apartments.
