LOHA-designed apartments unwrapped at 535 Glenrock Ave. in Westwood

In Westwood, the exterior of a new multifamily residential development from M&A Real Estate Partners is unwrapped just west of the UCLA campus.

The Hive, located at 535-539 Glenrock Avenue, consists of a six-story building that will feature 18 four- and five-bedroom apartments above 10 parking spaces in a single subterranean level.

The site was entitled for development with a larger building than otherwise allowed by zoning rules using density bonus incentives. In exchange, M&A will be required to set aside three of the new apartments as affordable housing at the very low-income level.

LOHA is designing the contemporary podium-type building, which is wrapped in an exterior of cedar slats. The building envelope steps back and twists as it rises, creating space for terrace decks. Plans also call for an amenity space at the rooftop.

M&A Partners owns and operates several Hive-branded properties which cater to college students.

The Hive is one of three similar apartment complex geared toward the student market now under construction in the surrounding area, joining another LOHA-designed project now wrapping up work Strathmore Drive.

UCLA is also building its own student housing in the area, recently breaking ground on a project that will feature 545 beds at 565 Gayley Avenue.
