R.D. Olson Completes $24M Affordable Development in Los Angeles

by Jeff Shaw

LOS ANGELES — R.D. Olson Construction has completed The Curve at West Angeles, a 70-unit, 80,000-square-foot affordable mixed-use community in the Park Mesa Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The art deco-style project is a joint venture between Related California and West Angeles Community Development Corp., and features 2,000 square feet of retail space in addition to 50,000 square feet of affordable housing reserved for residents over age 62.

The five-story community features 24 studios and 45 one-bedrooms ranging from 400 to 630 square feet, as well as one manager’s apartment.

The first-floor retail portion of the project can accommodate up to three tenants, and West Angeles Community Development Corp. has a boardroom and leasing office onsite.

The development is just blocks away from Destination Crenshaw, a new 1.3-mile art and cultural experience that celebrates the area’s heritage as the largest black community west of the Mississippi River. The Crenshaw/LAX light rail line, which is currently under construction, will have a stop less than a block away.

R.D. Olson Construction worked with KFA Architects and Mannigan Design on the project.
