Commercial Real Estate Awards 2018: Best Multi-Family Project

AVALON WEST HOLLYWOOD

Location: 7316 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA 90046

Size: 131,700 sf

Developer: AvalonBay Communities Inc.

Contractor: AvalonBay Communities Inc.

Architect: MVE + Partners, Inc.

Avalon West Hollywood offers a multi-generational urban lifestyle that embraces the energy of its surrounding movie industry neighborhood and the vibrant street-life of Santa Monica Boulevard. The exteriors are designed in a contemporary modern style, conveying the spirit and urban character of West Hollywood. At street-level, the development enhances the existing urban fabric with a public central plaza and pedestrian mews, neighborhood serving retail, and a Trader Joes market. The community consists of three individual buildings that sit atop a common 2.5-level subterranean garage. The first building, known as Movietown Square, features 77-units of much needed affordable senior housing above the Trader Joes market. The community offers extensive resident amenities, including a media center, gym, and roof top deck with community gardens. Located across the public plaza are the two market-rate buildings which are connected via an iconic bridge element. The bridge, which orients residents towards the Hollywood Hills, also acts as a mediating piece that reconciles the difference in architecture of the two buildings.
