Logos Faith Development, a Los Angeles–based for-profit impact developer, and St Rest Friendship Baptist Church have broken ground on Phase One of a 138-unit affordable housing community in Los Angeles. The St Rest development will deliver much-needed affordable housing while demonstrating the power of faith-based partnerships to unlock underutilized land for community impact.
The project, located at 709 W. Manchester Ave in Los Angeles, reflects Logos Faith Development’s mission to work alongside churches and mission-aligned partners to address the region’s housing crisis through scalable, financially sustainable development.
St Rest Phase One will deliver 62 new apartment homes serving low- and moderate-income households. The four-story development will include 53 one-bedroom units and nine two-bedroom units, along with a courtyard on the second floor and 27 covered parking spaces. St Rest will include deeper affordability replacement units as part of the project’s overall housing mix.
Construction funding for this initial phase of the project was delivered via a roughly $15 million construction loan from Sunflower Bank. Phase One is expected to be completed during Q4 2027.
Roughly 90% of the units will be dedicated to low-income tenants under Section 8 standards. The full two-phase plan will ultimately create new housing units across neighboring parcels, along with a new worship and ministry space for St Rest Baptist Church in Phase Two. The development will serve individuals and families in need while strengthening community ties and reinforcing the role of churches as anchors for neighborhood stability.
The St Rest project advances Logos Faith Development’s broader 2026 strategy, which includes multiple planned groundbreakings across California and positions the firm as a leading voice in faith-based affordable housing nationwide. With a development pipeline valued at approximately $700 million and more than 2,000 affordable housing units planned in partnership with over 30 faith-based organizations, Logos Faith Development continues to expand its footprint across Southern California and beyond.
