5144 Crenshaw Boulevard Apartments

The project is located within the Crenshaw Corridor, on the corner of Crenshaw Boulevard and 52nd Street. Designed for pedestrian use, the ground floor will feature a cafe and retail space. Various other amenities are also provided per the Crenshaw Blvd Streetscape Plan, including street trees, street furniture, planters, and pedestrian lighting. The floors above contain 79 dwelling units (70 1-bedroom and 9 2-bedroom). Residents have access to a landscaped courtyard and terrace, as well as a recreation room.

The facade is mainly composed of fiber cement panels and 2 colors of stucco that all work together to modulate the exterior and create a sense of movement. Wood louvers and a continuous sign band embellish the ground floor along Crenshaw Blvd, welcoming pedestrians to use the retail spaces. Furthermore, the tower and signage reference the architectural character of the Crenshaw Corridor, visually connecting the building to its context.
