Expo Transit-Oriented Development has filed plans for a significant new mixed-use project at 3400 Exposition Blvd, directly adjacent to a busy Expo Line station. The proposed seven-story building aims to deliver 220 residential units, with a commitment to designate 20% of these as affordable housing, addressing a critical need in the Exposition Park area. The development also includes 15,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, envisioned to serve both residents and transit commuters.
Valued at an estimated $78 million, this project exemplifies the city's push for transit-oriented development (TOD), reducing reliance on automobiles and promoting sustainable urban living. The design incorporates bicycle storage, car-sharing services, and enhanced pedestrian pathways connecting directly to the Metro station. Architects have emphasized green building materials and energy-efficient systems throughout the design.
This filing marks the beginning of a comprehensive review process, which will involve environmental impact assessments and community engagement. Local residents and stakeholders are keen to see how the retail component will integrate with existing businesses and how the increased density will impact local infrastructure. If approved, the project could significantly enhance the vibrancy and walkability of the Exposition Park neighborhood, with construction potentially starting in mid-2027.
