LOS ANGELES- Construction has begun on the 23-story Californian on Wilshire condominium project, a joint venture of Fifield Cos. of Chicago and locally based California Landmark.

The high-rise, situated on a 1.1-acre parcel at Wilshire Boulevard and Malcolm Avenue in Westwood, is being designed by Nadel Architects Inc., with lobby and common areas designed by Darrell Schmitt Design Associates. It will include 80 residential units averaging 3,300 sf, with some units measuring up to 8,000 sf. The condos will be priced from approximately $1.2 million to $9 million.

Construction of the high-rise is expected to be completed in about 18 to 24 months. The developers say the building will rival a five-star hotel in its elegance, including features such as an elevator system with two private cars to each floor, a state-of-the-art health club, wine room and storage, a library, a banquet room for entertaining and catered events, landscaped gardens and terraces, a pool and spa area, a 24-hour concierge, valet and security.
