The Los Angeles planning department has approved plans by Brookfield Properties to develop a 350-unit apartment project next to the Northridge Fashion Center shopping mall, according to a determination letter posted last week by the city.
Named Residences at Northridge Fashion Center, the community will take shape at the southeastern corner of the intersection of Shirley Avenue and Plummer Street, just north of the Northridge mall, and include a five-story apartment building and six-level, 466-stall above-grade parking garage. It will replace a single-story building occupied by U.S. Bank and surface parking lots currently at the roughly 4.8-acre site.
Plans call for 92 studio apartments 176 one-bedrooms, and 82 two-bedrooms, along with amenities including three outdoor landscaped courtyards, a swimming pool, a fitness center, a lounge, and a clubroom. The project will also provide a fifth-floor outdoor deck, ground-level patios, private balconies, and space for 224 bicycles.
Brookfield Properties has owned Northridge Fashion Center since 2018, when it acquired then-owner General Growth Properties.
Designs for the planned project are being led by TCA Architects and Rios, plans show.
