ElevenOneEleven, a 344-apartment project, breaks ground in Culver City

Construction is underway on ElevenOneEleven, a 344-apartment project at Jefferson and Sepulveda boulevards in Culver City. Lincoln Property Company and McCourt Partners broke ground on Nov. 5, Culver City Crossroads reported. The Los Angeles Times reported that the roughly $200 million complex will include street-level restaurants and two public parks. The Westside Current reported that the six-story building at 11111 Jefferson Blvd. has secured $132.7 million in construction financing. The project is expected to open in late 2028.

What to know

The project. ElevenOneEleven is a six-story development on a 3.43-acre site. KFA Architecture designed it, and Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer, Culver City Crossroads reported.
Affordable units. The revised plan has 52 affordable apartments, up from 19 in the earlier plan, according to the city's environmental review as reported by the Westside Current. Half are designated for very low-income households and half for moderate-income households.
Public parks. Two publicly accessible parks along Sepulveda Boulevard would provide 17,520 square feet of outdoor space. One is 4,630 square feet at Machado Road, and the larger one is 12,890 square feet farther along Sepulveda. Under the city's revised approval, the developer is responsible for maintaining that open space.
Retail. Culver City Crossroads reports 2,000 square feet of retail. The Times described street-level restaurants.
Parking. The project will include 500 parking spaces and residential amenities, the Westside Current reported.
Who lives there. The Times reported the complex will house as many as 500 people.
How the plan changed. Culver City approved 230 apartments and 66,500 square feet of commercial space in 2021. Revisions approved in May 2025 added 114 apartments and cut commercial space to 2,000 square feet. The office component was eliminated.
The first plan. Culver City Crossroads notes that the 2019 proposal called for 279 apartments, 55,000 square feet of commercial space, 51,000 square feet of office space and 836 parking spaces.
A long wait. Crossroads describes the parcel as long vacant. It was the subject of multiple community meetings before the pandemic.

Why this project matters for housing

The Times reported that the development comes as apartment construction slows across Los Angeles County, even as Culver City seeks to add 3,341 homes by 2029. Housing development in much of the county has slowed despite strong demand, which makes a finished, financed project on a visible corner more significant than its size alone suggests.

City planners attributed the shift in the plan to changes in the commercial real estate market and a push to provide more housing, the Westside Current reported. The revised plan adds apartments while sharply reducing commercial space, and the affordable count has more than doubled.

Lincoln's Stephen Lindgren, senior vice president and Los Angeles market lead, told Culver City Crossroads that “Culver City remains one of the strongest rental markets in Southern California.” McCourt Partners' Jordan Lang called the groundbreaking “a significant milestone” in the developers' vision for the site.

How the project fits the corner

The site has been empty for a long time. Culver City Crossroads describes it as a long vacant parcel at the nexus of Jefferson and Sepulveda boulevards, and says it was the subject of multiple community meetings before the pandemic. The project that broke ground is smaller in office space and larger in housing than the 2019 plan.

The parks are a central part of the design. The smaller park, 4,630 square feet at Machado Road, and the larger one, 12,890 square feet farther along Sepulveda, are both on Sepulveda Boulevard. The developer must maintain that open space under the city’s revised approval, the Westside Current reported.

The affordable units are another part of the story. The count rose from 19 to 52 in the revised plan. Half are reserved for very low-income households and half for moderate-income households, according to the city’s environmental review. In a county where apartment construction has slowed, the affordable share is one of the details that will draw the most attention from housing advocates and city officials.

The project also has financing in place. The Westside Current reported that the developers secured $132.7 million in construction financing from Bank OZK. The city approved the May 2025 revisions that changed the plan, so the project now going up is the revised version, not the 2021 approval.

Our take

Housing and public green space on a corner that sat empty for years is good news for people who live nearby. The trade is less office and retail space than the 2021 plan, and that is worth watching as the project takes shape. Culver City's housing goal is large, and the city's approval process is part of how this project got bigger. The parks are the part neighbors will likely notice first once they are built, and the developer's duty to maintain them is a detail worth remembering.
