What's in the Works
The Arlington is a community-driven project scheduled to open at the end of 2025. The project transforms a blighted former oil production site into a vibrant, mixed-use, 100% affordable housing community.
There will be a total of 83 units, including 42 units of permanent supportive housing serving formerly homeless households, plus a manager's unit. There will be on-site property management, resident enrichment activities, and case management services.
Amenities include on-site laundry room, gym, and community club room with TV area, computer desks, and full kitchen. Residents will enjoy the lush landscaping, including a central courtyard with tot lot and BBQ.
The project will achieve LEED Silver certification.
Actual floor plans may vary from the samples shown above. On average, studios will be 436 sf, two-bedrooms 883 sf, and three-bedrooms 995 sf.
Affordable Housing
This development will add 83 units of much-needed affordable housing in the Arlington Heights neighborhood for individuals and families with low, very low, and extremely low incomes, including 42 units reserved for formerly homeless households. The project was made possible by financing from the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD), the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC), the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC), and project-based vouchers from the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA).
Transit Friendly Development
The Arlington is within minutes to the nearest public transportation stops served by 4 bus lines with service to downtown LA and Culver City every 15 to 20 minutes during peak hours, connecting low, very low, and extremely low income residents to jobs and amenities. The project will also provide a total of 76 bicycle parking spots, including 10 available to the community, to encourage active mobility. The site is in a “very walkable” neighborhood per Walkscore.com with most errands accomplished on foot.
Environmental Cleanup and Justice
The project site remained vacant and blighted for years, perpetuating environmental injustice in a formerly redlined neighborhood. The project team has conducted extensive environmental testing and is implementing a remedial workplan that is approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Thanks to an award from the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) program, this unsightly and potentially hazardous site will be transformed into an inviting asset for the community, a win for our community and public health.
Urban Green and Open Space
The Arlington brings approximately 8500 SF of green and open space for residents. For the community, Arlington will provide new sidewalks along 4th Avenue, Washington Blvd, and 3rd Avenue, as well as resurfacing portion of the alley behind project site. The parkway along 4th Avenue will be significantly improved with lush landscaping and one new street tree.
Support Neighborhood Businesses
The Arlington brings new customers to neighborhood-serving shops and restaurants along Washington Blvd, most of which are owned and operated by people of color. These include Washington Market, Arlington Height's Market, Surfas Culinary District, VIDA Activa y Saludable.
Activate Washington Blvd
Input gathered during community meetings drove project design to include street-activating uses on the ground floor, including a community room serving residents, offices for on-site supportive services, and a retail space with covered outdoor dining area. The architecture is derived from classic "Main Street" commercial with glass storefront and steel canopies on the ground floor.
