In Downtown Santa Monica, the concrete skeleton of a mixed-use development from Related California is taking shape rapidly at 710 Broadway.

The project, which spans a 2.5-acre site fronting Lincoln Boulevard Broadway, and 7th Street, is being redeveloped with an eight-story building that will feature 280 apartments above approximately 90,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Most of that space will house a new location for the Vons supermarket which previously occupied by project site.

As a condition of approval, Related will be required to set aside 84 of the new apartments for rent at 30 percent of the area median income level and the moderate-income level. Community Corp. of Santa Monica will manage the new affordable units.

Large Architecture is designing the building, which will present a curvilinear form along Broadway, folds facing 7th Street, and waves along Lincoln Boulevard to the east. Plans call for an exterior of brick, glass, and wood. A roughly 30,000-square-foot courtyard will be located at the center of the building.

Other members of the design team include Marmol Radziner, which is handling interior design, and landscape firm Studio MLA.

710 Broadway is slated for completion in late 2025.
