OVERVIEW

685 Westminster Avenue offers a compelling opportunity to develop a 100% affordable housing project in a high-demand Los Angeles submarket where the need for attainable housing continues to significantly outpace supply. The site is well-positioned for investors and developers seeking to capitalize on robust public-sector support, layered financing structures, and favorable regulatory incentives designed to accelerate affordable housing production. The property’s location provides strong fundamentals for an affordable development, including proximity to major employment centers, public transportation, and essential neighborhood amenities. Access to transit and services enhances eligibility for key incentive programs and aligns with city and state priorities aimed at increasing density near transit corridors. This positioning supports the development of a transit-oriented, community-focused project that meets both market demand and policy objectives. From an entitlement and design standpoint, 685 Westminster Avenue is well-suited for a high-density affordable housing development. Developers may benefit from programs such as California density bonus law, Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) incentives, and other local and state initiatives that can increase allowable unit count, reduce parking requirements, and streamline approvals. These mechanisms can materially enhance project feasibility and maximize the site’s development potential. The investment profile is further strengthened by access to diverse and scalable financing sources, including Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), tax-exempt bonds, and soft funding through city, county, and state housing agencies. Los Angeles remains one of the deepest and most competitive markets for affordable housing funding, supported by strong political backing and long-term capital commitments. The surrounding neighborhood reflects ongoing reinvestment and a growing emphasis on equitable housing solutions, with multiple affordable and mixed-income developments in various stages of planning and construction. This momentum underscores the site’s strategic relevance and long-term viability as part of the city’s broader housing framework. In summary, 685 Westminster Avenue represents a rare opportunity to deliver a mission-driven, 100% affordable housing project in a supply-constrained and policy-supported environment. The offering is ideally suited for experienced affordable housing developers seeking to leverage public incentives, achieve scale, and generate stable, long-term returns while addressing a critical housing need in Los Angeles
