Now that it’s been a hurricane fence for three years, there are answers to the questions about the proposed development at 11111 Jefferson; the triangular lot between Jefferson, Sepulveda and Machado. A recent approval granted by city officials Culver City has a redesigned plan to emphasize housing over office and retail space.
The John Buck Company and 3MRCapital had secured entitlements to update a former commercial complex at 11111 Jefferson Boulevard with a mixed-use building featuring 230 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with commercial uses on the first and second floors and subterranean parking for 653 vehicles.
Planning go the green light in 2021; in 2022, work for that project took out the Coco’s restaurant, and Valvoline oil change and the United States Post Office that previously occupied the project site. Ironically, the Post Office had announced they were closing that location in November of 2017, but were still in operation.
While the debris was cleared but the lot stayed empty, rumors ran rampant. A letter issued in May of 2025 by the City of Culver City confirms that a new project, under the ownership of developers Lincoln Property Company and McCourt Partners, will move the redevelopment forward.
The new plan shows an increase in the total amount of housing from 230 homes to 344 homes, as well as an increase in the number of affordable units from 19 to 52; a drastic decrease in commercial square footage dropping from 66,500 to 2,000 by eliminating office space; placing parking in a central garage rather than subterranean levels; and an increase in the amount of publicly-accessible open space from 13,800 square feet to 17,520 square feet.
KFA Architecture is now listed as designing the project, planning a structure ranging between five and six stories in height.
According to UrbanizeLA, an environmental report included with the approval indicates that construction of 11111 Jefferson is expected to occur over approximately two years, commencing as early as July 2026 and concluding by July 2028.
Lincoln Property Company, long a developer of offices in Culver City, has recently branched out into residential development, with plans for a similar mixed-use project with 309 apartments at 5700 Hannum Avenue in Fox Hills.
