Cityview, a vertically integrated real estate investment manager specializing in multifamily, today announced its plan to develop a highly amenitized mixed-use project featuring 489 units of multifamily housing and 16,120 square feet of ground-floor retail on Manchester Avenue in the heart of the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Located at 6136 West Manchester Avenue, the project is fully entitled and Cityview recently closed on the land for the project. The development is expected to break ground in 2026 and complete in late 2028.
“6136 Manchester is one of the largest projects to be entitled in Los Angeles in many years,” said Sean Burton, CEO of Cityview. “We leveraged our experience navigating complex entitlements and working with the community, city staff and elected leaders to bring the highly anticipated project to fruition. We are looking forward to delivering nearly 500 units of much-needed housing to this fast-growing and vibrant area of Los Angeles.”
The project will feature spacious studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments and 549 parking spaces. Sixty-four of the units will be leased exclusively to households earning no more than 50% of the area median income.
A central feature of the project is a new public plaza at the corner of 87th Street and Truxton Avenue that will provide an indoor/outdoor gathering space for residents and the surrounding community and link the building with neighborhood retail. Designed to create a strong connection to the neighboring residents and businesses, the plaza will feature lush landscaping, ambient lighting and ample outdoor seating.
6136 Manchester is centrally located and directly accessible to the robust employment centers of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Playa Vista and El Segundo as well as some of the area’s largest employers, including Microsoft, Boeing, Raytheon, Google, Facebook, Nike and Amazon.
The project features a strong Walk Score of 88, which indicates that most errands can be accomplished on foot, and is within a five-minute walk of a wide variety of desirable shopping, dining, healthcare and service offerings. The location provides easy access to nearby beaches, destination retail centers and premier entertainment venues such as SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome.
“6136 Manchester’s prime location in downtown Westchester, a highly sought after and supply-constrained market in West Los Angeles, makes the site an ideal candidate for a higher density, transit-oriented development,” added Burton.
Cityview is partnering with AC Martin, Nadia Geller Designs and MJS Landscape Architecture on the project, which is planned to achieve LEED Silver certification.
