A decommissioned school campus in Baldwin Park is poised for redevelopment into housing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Storm Properties is pursuing the construction of 104 townhomes at the former Florence Flanner School site at 1314 Le Borgne Avenue, Urbanize Los Angeles reported<\/a>. The proposed development, currently in the environmental review stage, would rise on a portion of the abandoned site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project is dubbed \u201cBassett Village\u201d due to its location on the edge of the unincorporated community of Bassett; the Bassett Unified School District owns the site. The Mediterranean-style buildings, designed by Angeleno Associates, would contain a mix of two- and three-story floor plans. The development would consist of 20 new buildings boasting a total of 104 townhomes. Each townhome would have a private two-car garage and access to amenities including a private park and a dog park.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Storm Properties is pursuing a zone change, a general plan amendment and other city-level entitlements, for the site. If approved, the Basset Village project would roll out over a 19-month period between November 2026 and June 2028. The Torrance<\/a>-based firm previously secured entitlements for a similar development in the Athens neighborhood of south Los Angeles; it later sold the project to KB Home for development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

School sites across California have been emerging targets for redevelopment into housing as municipalities rush to meet state-mandated housing goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Greater Los Angeles, developers are looking to erect 571 townhomes on a 23-acre site between the defunct Morningside High and Woodworth Elementary schools in Inglewood<\/a>. The so-called \u201cMorningside Project<\/a>\u201d would include 403 row townhomes and 168 interlocking townhomes ranging in size from one to four bedrooms with amenities including two clubhouses, swimming pools, pocket parks, a dog park and parking for roughly 1,120 vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of the new townhomes, 10 percent would be set aside for very-low-income households<\/a>, or roughly $53,000 for one person and $75,750 for a household of four.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this spring in San Jose, Mana Investments filed plans<\/a> to build condominium units on baseball fields next to a school. That project on a school district-owned site would fit more than 100 condos into 32 three-story buildings across roughly 7 acres.\u00a0<\/p>\n
