Culver City-based non-profit Affordable Living for the Aging is making use of streamlined entitlement procedures created through Executive Directive 1 for the project, which would rise form a corner lot at 5879 S. Crenshaw Boulevard. Plans call for razing the existing buildings, which house an auto repair garage, to clear the way for a new four-story building featuring 25 one- and two-bedroom apartments.
As with other ED1 projects, the proposed apartment complex is eligible for density bonus incentives permitting a larger structure than allowed by zoning rules, as it would serve lower-income renters.
EWAI is designing the contemporary low-rise complex, which would include a central courtyard.

The project is the latest in a series of developments which have reshaped the Crenshaw Boulevard corridor since the arrival of the K Line. Several of those developments have also been affordable housing, including the Depot at Hyde Park and the Hope on Hyde Park apartments a few blocks to the south.
