INGLEWOOD – The Inglewood City Council is expected to terminate a Disposition and Development Agreement for a planned mixed-use development at 317 S. La Brea Ave.
The termination agreement was uploaded to the City’s website in preparation for the October 28 city council meeting.
The developer is citing “the COVID-19 pandemic and changing market conditions, the Developer, despite its reasonable efforts, has been unable to commence and cause the construction and development of the Project in accordance with the time frames established in the Schedule of Performance (Attachment 3 of the DDA) and the development scope established in the Scope of Development (Attachment 4 of the DDA), and now request that the DDA be terminated in its entirety.”1
The project proposed by 317 La Brea LLC was to constructe multiple four-and eight-story buildings featuring a combined total of 143 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments above 18,000 square feet of commercial uses and parking for 224 vehicles, according to documents filed with the Inglewood Planning Department.
The developer requested project entitlements that include density bonuses, permitting waivers from certain zoning rules. In exchange, the City of Inglewood would require that 18 of the new apartments be set aside for rent as affordable housing.
“The project seeks to link together important nodes within the downtown Inglewood fabric, including Inglewood High School and Grevillea Art Park to the west, the Inglewood Transit Center and Market Street to the East, and La Brea Boulevard, Inglewood’s predominant thoroughfare to the North and South,” reads a narrative from the JZA website, which pointed to a groundbreaking date for the project in August 2024.
Should the Inglewood City Council terminate the agreement, it would trigger the City refunding the $50,000 good faith deposit provided by the developer.
