Developers have filed plans for a 12-story housing complex located at 11027-11045 W. Strathmore Drive. The project aims to bring 88 new residential units to the Westwood area, offering a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.
Why it matters
The project uses density bonus incentives from state laws AB 2334 and AB 1287 to increase capacity near the university. By committing to a 15 percent moderate-income housing set-aside, the development aims to expand local rental options.
The proposed 168-foot-tall building will provide 88 residential units and 43 vehicle parking spaces. The design incorporates a 15 percent set-aside for moderate-income housing.

The details
The developers are utilizing density bonus incentives allowed under AB 2334 and AB 1287 to achieve the 12-story height. JZA Architecture and Works Architecture collaborated on the design to maximize the site footprint. The building replaces two older rental properties near the university campus.
Timeline
The project was filed for city entitlements in 2025.
The Home Front
This development follows a growing trend of utilizing state density bonus laws to increase residential capacity in urban neighborhoods. The proposal marks a departure from lower-density housing patterns previously seen on this block of Strathmore Drive.
Residents should track upcoming meetings of the Westwood Design Review Board for opportunities to view final renderings. If you live in the immediate vicinity, review public notices regarding site impact studies for potential construction-related logistics.
The takeaway
The proposed 12-story complex represents a significant shift in density for the immediate Westwood area. Property owners nearby should monitor the municipal planning portal for official hearing dates regarding the site at 11027 W. Strathmore Drive.
