- A five-story mixed-use building has been approved at 1410–1422 S Main Street in Venice, Los Angeles.
- Developers Jason Teague and Brittany DeBeikes of Three on the Tree, LLC plan to build 20 apartments with ground-floor restaurant space.
- The project includes density bonus incentives, with four units reserved for very low-income residents.
What the approved project includes
The Los Angeles City Planning Commission has approved a new mixed-use development that will replace two single-family homes in the Venice neighborhood. The project, located at 1410–1422 S Main Street, will consist of a five-story building featuring 20 residential units. Apartments will include a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Plans also include 3,676 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space and parking for 28 vehicles, adding both housing and retail activity to the corridor.
What the density bonus means for the development
Commission approval was required because the project uses density bonus incentives, allowing a larger building than local zoning would typically permit. In exchange for the additional density, the development will designate four apartments for very low-income renters. Programs like this are commonly used across Los Angeles to increase housing supply while including affordability requirements.
What the design means for the project
The building is being designed by m_Royce Architecture, a Venice-based architecture firm. Renderings show a contemporary low-rise structure featuring perforated metal screening along the façade and a rooftop terrace deck for residents. The design aims to create a modern residential building while fitting within the scale of surrounding development along South Main Street.
What the project means for development in Venice
City records list the project applicant as Three on the Tree, LLC, which is managed by local developers Jason Teague and Brittany DeBeikes. The development adds to ongoing housing activity across the Venice area, where several projects have been proposed to increase residential supply. Nearby, other housing proposals have faced community debate, including plans to convert city-owned parking lots near the Venice Canals into affordable housing, highlighting the ongoing tensions around new development in the neighborhood.
