Take a quick trip out to the oft-forgotten Del Rey neighborhood, where the Beverly Hills-based Lido Equities Group is working on plans for a pair of low-rise apartment complexes. The first of the two developments, a five-story building designed by Shubin + Donaldson Architects, will replace a cluster of mid-century buildings at 11811 Culver Boulevard. Each of the project's 27 loft-style apartments will come complete with concrete floors, designer finishes, and private balconies. Communal amenities will include a fitness center, entertainment lounge, and a rooftop deck with panoramic views of the cityscape.
According to a page on the Lido Equities Group website, 11811 Culver is slated to open its doors in Spring 2015. However, recent events could delay that ambitious timeline. Although LADCP has approved the project in its current form, records indicate that the Department of Building and Safety has yet to give Lido Equities the go-ahead to start construction. At this time, 11811 Culver is also being appealed by an abutting property owner, who argues that the city erred in granting the project its density bonus.
