Sunrise Senior Living and Lincoln Property Company have become the latest developers to revamp an in-progress project using the citywide housing incentive program.

Last year, a joint venture between the two developers submitted an application to the Planning Department seeking approvals to redevelop an existing 40-unit apartment building at 10354 Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood's condo canyon with a new senior housing complex featuring 178 homes above parking for 192 vehicles. Plans had called for an 18-story tower fronting Wilshire, with a smaller three-story Mediterranean-style building along Ashton Avenue at the rear of the site.

A new application filed on August 27 with the Planning Department indicates that updated plans for the site have increased in scale. Along Wilshire, plans now call for a 20-story building with three levels of underground parking, while a four-story structure with one level of below-grade parking is planned along Ashton to the south. In total, the project now calls for a total of 185 residential units accompanied by 30 guest rooms.

Plans pulled from ATC also indicated that HKS is designing the revised project, which would include a modern glass-and-steel high-rise and a Spanish-style low-rise. The proposed height of the tower is 283 feet.

The proposed development is the second housing development catering to older adults planned in recent years along the Wilshire corridor in Westwood, following a 12-story building slated to replace Westwood Presbyterian Church's parking lot.

Lincoln Property Company and Sunrise Senior Living are active developers across Los Angeles County. Lincoln Property Company's upcoming slate of developments includes a proposed high-rise complex in Chinatown, as well as new apartments in Culver City, while Sunrise is developing senior housing on Sepulveda Boulevard in Manhattan Beach.
