Mixed-use apartment project takes shape on Westwood Boulevard

Key Points

• RBM of California is advancing a five-story mixed-use project at 2107–2121 S. Westwood Boulevard in West L.A.
• The development will deliver 92 apartments over roughly 1,500 square feet of ground floor retail, plus 125 subterranean parking spaces.
• Density bonus incentives allow the larger build in exchange for eight very low-income affordable units.

Why This Matters

West Los Angeles remains one of the city’s most supply-constrained rental markets, making even mid-sized infill projects meaningful. This development shows how developers are continuing to lean on density bonuses to make projects pencil while still adding required affordable housing. For landlords and investors, it signals continued confidence in Westside rental demand despite higher construction and entitlement costs.

Inside the Project

The project consists of a single five story residentia retail building located just north of Olympic Boulevard. Unit mix includes studios, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, targeting a broad renter base in a high-demand corridor. Parking is fully subterranean, a key feature for Westwood area projects where street congestion and parking constraints are ongoing concerns. Architecture is being handled by DE Architects, with exterior finishes featuring blue and white stucco and stepped back upper floors to reduce massing along the street. RBM of California, a subsidiary of Japan-based Residence Building Management Co., has an active footprint across Los Angeles, with prior mixed-use projects in Mid Wilshire and Palms, and another apartment development underway near the 405 Freeway in Sawtelle.

Bottom Line

The Westwood Boulevard project reflects steady, policy-driven infill development on the Westside. By combining density bonuses, modest retail, and a diversified unit mix, RBM of California is positioning the asset to benefit from sustained rental demand in one of L.A.’s most competitive submarkets
