Hines, USAA Real Estate and Philena Properties have begun work on West Edge, a transformative, transit-oriented, mixed-use development situated within the creative heart of West Los Angeles, at the corner of Olympic Blvd and Bundy Dr. The project will feature eight stories of creative office space, 600 luxury rental apartments, a full-service natural grocer and eight restaurants, in addition to cafes, boutique retail, and studio fitness options.
With unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and west side, West Edge will offer 200k sf of state-of-the-art office space including eight office levels flooded with natural light. The building will feature minimum 15’ slab-to-slab heights, a double-height showroom, separate secure building entrances, as well as connected and private landscaped terraces over five floors.
Gensler, Togawa Smith Martin, and Rios Clementi Hale Studios designed the project with employee retention and productivity in mind: the office building is registered to be LEED® and WiredScore Certified and will pursue WELL Core & Shell Certification. West Edge is suited for media, technology, and high-growth users seeking a dynamic campus environment.
The res units will include on-site apartments for employees. There will also be a vibrant one-half-acre open-air plaza with al fresco dining, and an exceptional depth and breadth of amenities including a 36k sf full-service natural grocer, bars and restaurants, and fitness.
The 4.8-acre site is the former home to the Martin Cadillac dealership and sits less than one block from the Expo/Bundy Metro station which connects downtown Santa Monica to downtown Los Angeles. The site is located within half a mile of the 10 Fwy and within one mile of the 405 Fwy, in close proximity to pockets of executive housing within Brentwood, Santa Monica, Westwood, and Pacific Palisades.
The Martin Family has owned the site for over 40 years and has spent the last seven years perfecting entitlements for the project. “We are excited to bring the shared vision of our family and the community to life with our partners Hines and USAA Real Estate. Our family has deep roots and legacy in the neighborhood, and we believe this project will transform West LA,” said Dan Martin, managing partner of Philena Properties.
Demolition on the former auto dealership has been completed. The project has broken ground with a planned opening in 2022.
