35 townhomes coming to 1407 Crenshaw Blvd. in Torrance

A pair of small office buildings in Torrance are poised to give way to housing, following a recent action by the city's Planning Commission. 

City Ventures, the developer attached to the project at 1407-1455 Crenshaw Boulevard, intends to raze the existing 1970s building as well as an attached parking lot to clear the way for the construction of five buildings containing a combined 35 townhomes above ground-level parking. 

Plans call for a mix of three- and four-bedroom floor plans, ranging from 1,377 to 1,614 square feet in size. Four of the homes are to be set aside for moderate-income buyers in exchange for density bonus incentives granted to City Ventures.

KTGY is designing the townhomes, which would be located in five separate buildings sharing a single driveway. Renderings show a contemporary design for the homes, which would be clad in stucco and other materials.

Townhomes are an increasingly comment type of development in Torrance, which recently approved plans from Lennar Corp. to build a larger housing complex next to the Del Amo Fashion Center.

City Ventures is active across Southern California, with ongoing projects in the works for Artesia, South Gate, and Santa Ana. In Northern California, Urbanize SF reports the developer has plans for multifamily housing near Mineta International Airport in Santa Clara.
