Bastion Development Expands LA-Culver City Project to 164 Units

• Bastion Development has revised plans for its mixed-use project at 3984 S. Meier St. on the border of Los Angeles and Culver City.
• The updated proposal increases the development to 164 residential units, including affordable housing, across the Los Angeles and Culver City portions of the site.
• The project leverages California's density bonus incentives to deliver additional housing while helping both cities meet state housing goals.

What the Updated Development Includes

Bastion Development has submitted revised plans for the Los Angeles portion of its mixed-use project at 3984 S. Meier St., a site that spans both Los Angeles and Culver City and also includes 12727 Washington Blvd. The Vancouver-based developer is increasing the residential density of the project while maintaining the previously approved portion within Culver City. The updated proposal for the Los Angeles side calls for a six-story building with 60 apartments above parking for 55 vehicles. The residential mix will include one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, with seven apartments reserved for extremely low-income households. Those affordable units allow the project to utilize California's density bonus program, enabling a larger development than traditional zoning would otherwise permit.

What Has Changed Since the Original Approval

The revised application expands the project's overall housing capacity beyond the approvals received in recent years. Culver City approved the development in 2022, followed by approvals from the City of Los Angeles in 2023 for two six-story buildings containing 144 residential units and approximately 19,100 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. With the latest changes affecting only the Los Angeles portion of the property, the combined project will now include 164 apartments once both phases are completed. The Culver City approvals remain valid through next April.

What This Means for Housing Growth

The project arrives as both Los Angeles and Culver City work toward meeting California's state-mandated housing production targets by 2029. By increasing residential density and expanding the affordable housing component, Bastion's revised proposal contributes to those long-term housing goals while continuing the transformation of the Washington Boulevard corridor into a higher-density mixed-use neighborhood. The developer is already familiar with the area, having previously developed Oliver on Washington Boulevard and secured entitlements for the Haven apartment project, which was later completed by another developer.
