Transit-Oriented, Mixed-Use Development is Part of the Revitalization of Lincoln Boulevard
(Santa Monica, CA – September 27, 2018) The project site is being prepared for the groundbreaking of two KFA-designed, four-story, mixed-use buildings located at 1625 Lincoln Blvd. and 1627 Lincoln Ct. The development consists of two of the four buildings of the Lincoln Collection, which will rise just north of the 10 Freeway in Santa Monica. The developers are L.A.-based Century West Partners and Colorado-based construction company Milender White.
“The Lincoln Collection project is designed as an “urban village” in walkable downtown Santa Monica, just blocks from the beach and Santa Monica Pier,” said KFA Associate Lars Johansson, AIA. “It is an extremely well located transit-oriented development, close to the Metro Expo Line light rail terminus at Colorado Avenue and 4th Street and convenient to the 10 Freeway and the Pacific Coast Highway,” he added. L.A. Metro’s Expo Line connects Santa Monica with Downtown Los Angeles.
These two buildings of the Lincoln Collection “village” will add 191 units including studio, one-, and two-bedroom residential units to the very tight Santa Monica rental market. The Collection will bring 25,000 square feet of new street-level retail. A 20’ wide sidewalk, flanked by street trees on both sides, welcomes pedestrians along Lincoln Blvd. and a large public plaza extends the open space deep into the project.
The Lincoln Collection will offer luxury units, featuring premier finishes such as plank flooring, quartz countertops, Euro-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances and high-end bathrooms. It will also have built-in smart technologies, including wifi and in-wall USB outlets. Common area amenities will include outdoor courtyards, internet café, sun decks, swimming pool, play area, gaming and media screening room, lounge, business center, and a fitness center. Decorative paving, lighting and landscaping will enliven a passageway for cars, pedestrians and cyclists between the east and west portions of the project.
The Lincoln Collection is slated for completion by the end of 2020.
