Neighborhood Development
What makes 90016 one of the most closely watched pockets of Los Angeles right now isn't just its architecture and food scene — it's the range of investment reshaping the area, from new housing and marquee retail to the streets themselves. Adams Boulevard has drawn over a decade of steady development attention, and the neighborhood's proximity to the Metro E Line and Culver City's job centers continues to pull buyers priced out of Culver City itself. Areas on the front edge of this kind of transformation have historically seen some of the strongest long-term property appreciation in the city — and 90016 is squarely in that window right now.
Mixed-Use Development
CIM Group has filed plans for a six-story, 142-unit apartment building above ground-level retail, replacing the longtime Advance Food Market site. The project uses the city's density bonus program and sets aside 13 units as extremely low-income affordable housing — one of several residential projects CIM has brought to the corridor over the past decade.
