LOS ANGELES-AvalonBay Communities and MVE & Partners have teamed together to develop a new LEED Silver-certified mixed-use property in West Hollywood, Avalon West Hollywood. The development is scheduled to break ground this spring with completion estimated in fall 2016.

Set on a three-acre site, the property has a total of 371 apartment units in three buildings. Two buildings will offer market-rate units while the third building will provide 77-units of affordable housing options for income- and age-restricted tenants. Additionally, the property will feature 32,300-square-feet of retail space and 14,500-square-feet of specialty market space as well as subterranean parking for the tenants.

“The architectural character of Avalon West Hollywood truly celebrates the energy and vitality of Santa Monica Boulevard,” says Jeff Larsen, MVE & Partners principal. “Working closely with Avalon Bay to capture the essence of West Hollywood, we have designed a vibrant community that brings residents and their neighbors together to enjoy public plazas, pedestrian mews and a lively retail experience.” Rooftop decks, a community garden, an outdoor bar and dining area and a pool and spa with outdoor cabanas are among the remaining property amenities.
