Midwood Investment & Development is moving forward with the $500-million residential component of its Sportsmen’s Lodge redevelopment in Studio City and has tapped a local architecture firm for the project.
Residences at Sportsmen’s Lodge is being designed by West Los Angeles-based studio Marmol Radziner, which is utilizing elements of midcentury modern architecture and incorporating the neighboring Los Angeles River as a focal point.
The 190-room Sportsmen’s Lodge hotel, located at 12825 Ventura Boulevard, will be razed to pave the way for the development, a proposed mixed-use complex that will include three buildings totaling 520 apartments. The buildings will range from three to seven stories in height. The units will be a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, including 78 units of affordable housing.
The site, totaling six acres, will include more than 21,000 square feet of publicly accessible open space and a pedestrian path connecting Ventura Boulevard to the river.
The Residences at Sportsmen’s Lodge will include roughly 46,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The shops and restaurants will complement the 95,000-square-foot Shops at Sportsmen’s Lodge, anchored by an Erewhon store, which opened last December.
A joint venture between New York-based Midwood and Richard Weintraub of Mailbu-based Weintraub Real Estate Group, the Shops at Sportsmen’s Lodge cost $100 million and replaced the original Sportsmen’s Lodge grounds, which included a restaurant, bar, banquet hall and lakes.
Construction of the Residences is expected to conclude in 2027.
