Trical Construction Building More Apartments in Marina Del Rey

4108 Del Rey Avenue

Back in Marina Del Rey, developer Trical Construction is nearing completion on a 77-unit apartment complex located at 4108 Del Rey Avenue.  The five-story development, designed by Keith Dover Associates, is known as Tribeca Urban, a somewhat ironic name given the project's deliberate isolation from the street.  Tribeca Urban will consist of 1-3 bedroom apartments and provide "resort-style amenities," including a fitness center, an outdoor fireplace, and a spa.  The building is scheduled to open late this year.

Although Tribeca Urban has yet to finish construction, expansion plans already appear to be in the works.  Last month, Trical submitted plans to the Department of City Planning to add an extra 51-units next door at 4090 Del Rey Avenue as part of a "unified development project."

Mixed-Use Development for Freeway Adjacent Westchester Parcel

According to documents from the Neighborhood Council of Westchester and Playa Del Rey (NCWP), a mostly vacant plot of land in Westchester is set for some big changes.  Marina Del Rey based Trical Construction has plans for 7407 La Tijera, a large, mixed-use development located just a short walk from the 405 freeway.  Here's what to expect:

7407, 7401-7501 S. La Tijera Boulevard, 5630 W. 74th Street

The construction, use and maintenance of a new five-story, mixed-use building, containing 140 residential units, 2,600 square feet of ground floor retail space, 241 parking spaces (including 227 residential spaces and 14 retail spaces), and located on a 51,990 square-foot lot....Of the 140 units, 127 units will be market rate and 13 units will be restricted to Very-Low Income Households....The project will provide 18,104 square feet of open space, composed of a courtyard, a rear yard, amenities (gym and recreation room), and private balconies.  Proposed parking will be located on-site, within a three-level, subterranean parking structure.

Amidst a sea of single family homes and gas stations, a four-five story building will stand out like a sore thumb.  However, Trical managed to gain the approval of NCWP by making a variety of concessions, including additional parking accommodations, landscaping, traffic management, and senior oriented affordable units.
