An office building along the Rosecrans corridor in Manhattan Beach<\/a> is set to give way to a larger multifamily residential complex, according to a notice recently published by the Manhattan Beach Community Development Department. <\/a>r<\/p>\n

The project, which would rise from a more than five-acre property located at 1440 Rosecrans Avenue, is being developed by Fairfield Residential.\u00a0<\/a>Plans call for razing the existing 78,000-square-foot building, as well as adjacent surface parking, to permit the new construction of six- and seven-story buildings featuring a combined 500 apartments with parking for 800 vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a project description, the development would include 100 low-income units, making the project eligible for development incentives permitting a larger apartment complex than would be otherwise permitted at this location.<\/p>\n

The project is the result of Manhattan Beach’s Residential Overlay District<\/a>, which was established as part of the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element in March 2023. The district permits residential and mixed-use projects to be built on commercial properties by-right, predominantly along Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue.<\/p>\n

Fairfield Residential’s project is expected to have company along Rosecrans.<\/p>\n

Directly east at 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, another office complex is slated to give way to an eight-story, 550-unit apartment complex<\/a> containing a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom dwellings with parking for 751 vehicles. That project, which comes from an entity affiliated with Lincoln Property Company, would provide 110 low- and very low-income units to access development incentives. Likewise, the former site of Fry’s Electronics is slated for redevelopment with up to 273 apartments.<\/a><\/p>\n

North across Rosecrans, in the City of El Segundo, residential uses are not currently permitted – although a long-empty site is slated for a $150-million training facility for the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks in the coming years.<\/a><\/p>\n
