Tracing Culver City's Path to Its Current Residential Pipeline
Years of targeted planning and zoning adjustments have shaped the 36 active projects now moving forward across the city.
How we reported this
Culver City maintains 36 active residential projects that total 4,272 units, of which 612 are designated affordable housing and already exceed the city's 2029 obligation of 3,341 units.
Fox Hills Specific Plan Sets the Framework
The Fox Hills Specific Plan guides redevelopment of roughly 280 acres that previously functioned as an office park. The plan converts the area into a walkable mixed-use neighborhood. Five pending projects under this plan are expected to deliver nearly 3,000 homes. One approved component is the 846-unit 6201 Residences at 6201 Bristol Parkway, with construction beginning in 2026 and first move-ins scheduled for 2028.
Additional Projects Advance on Specific Sites
Other major active developments include the 1,077-unit Link Logistics project at 5757 Uplander Way and the 344-unit Lincoln Property complex at 11111 Jefferson Boulevard. Construction has started on Culver Commons with completion targeted for late 2026. The 12-story Habitat tower reached completion in May 2026.
Transit Corridor Zoning Supports Higher Density
Recent updates under SB 79 permit greater building height and density near transit corridors such as La Cienega and the Metro E Line. These changes facilitate conversion of industrial and office sites to residential use. The commercial pipeline separately lists 16 active projects that total 530,977 square feet of mixed-use, hotel, office and retail space.
Typical home values in Culver City range from $1.25 million to $1.27 million as of early 2026, while newer condos near downtown and Ivy Station reach $1.5 million or higher. The Ivy Station project near the E Line station has demonstrated demand for transit-oriented housing by combining apartments with hotel, retail and office space.
City planning documents track these projects through the residential and commercial pipeline reports. Residents seeking updates on individual approvals can review the Advance Planning Division materials on the Culver City website.
