Construction of Crenshaw Apartments, a two-story, 10-unit contemporary apartment project in LA’s historic West Adams District, has been completed. The project, a development of JV Crenshaw LLC, is located at 2336 South Crenshaw Blvd, in the heart of an area currently undergoing a renaissance. It was built by JDC Construction + Development Group (JDC).
The developer purchased the Crenshaw site with existing plans. However, significant revisions were needed to ensure that the apartment homes met the needs of the area’s rental market. In doing so, the owner and JDC eliminated the community laundry room, installing washers and dryers in each apartment, as well as individual water meters for each unit. Also, charging capabilities for electric cars were added in some of the project’s parking stalls.
According to JDC president John Donaldson, the neighborhood surrounding Crenshaw Apartments is the focus of a major urban revival led by the revitalization of the neighboring Crenshaw Plaza shopping center and the construction of the new Crenshaw light rail line. “Much of the residential area in West Adams consists of large, once elegant Craftsman style single-family homes, many in need of restoration, and older apartment buildings badly needing updating. This project is one of very few new construction projects in the area.”
