Torrance is getting a new residential neighborhood where an office complex once stood. Our Westoria project reimagines 21151-21221 S. Western Ave with 237 apartments and 98 townhomes, wrapped in painted stucco, brick veneer, and metal siding. Courtyards break up the apartment massing, and the townhomes get their own pool, all next to a historic Pacific Electric Railway bridge. Another example of housing replacing underused office space, and a shift we expect to keep seeing on sites like this one.

The wave gets the headlines. The real estate is what makes it work.

Pieter Berger and Chase Rongé sat down with Surf Park Central to talk about what it actually takes to design surf-anchored developments: site planning, guest flow, and the data that's bringing in investors who've never surfed a day in their lives. The conversation grew out of MVE's work on Snug Harbor.

Our design for a 46-story residential tower at 5350 Wilshire Blvd is moving forward.

The tower reimagines Art Deco architecture for the Miracle Mile, with 419 homes above ground-floor retail that keeps the historic Dark Room building intact. Sitting steps from the Wilshire/La Brea Metro station, the design includes a top floor of five penthouses, along with a fitness center, sky lounge, and pool deck for residents. 47 of the 419 units are extremely low-income affordable housing. Proud to see this one advancing.

Bisnow featured Chase Rongé, principal and director of our San Diego office, on where the region's multifamily and affordable housing market is headed in 2026. He points to growth moving beyond the downtown core into neighborhoods like Kearny Mesa and Chula Vista, and a shift toward more varied unit sizing and amenity programs as residents' needs evolve.

Our team walked the site this week for a final site visit at 640 S. St. Andrews, and there's nothing quite like seeing a project in person after months of looking at it on screen.

Mark S. Kim, Sherwin Pineda, Luis Arambula, Erick Rivas, Sangjin Kim, and our production team compared the building against the original renderings on site, where the mixed-use development is taking shape with apartments above ground-floor retail.

640 S. St. Andrews is shaping up to be a great addition to the neighborhood.

The Becker is in the news. The San Diego Business Journal featured the $140M affordable housing community now rising in Mission Valley, the first housing development to break ground at Riverwalk.

MVE serves as both design architect and architect of record for The Becker and prepared the overall Riverwalk master plan for Hines. The community sits at the center of that plan by design. Three buildings of varied height keep the scale approachable; pedestrian bridges connect them, and courtyards open out toward Mission Valley.

The Becker will bring 190 affordable apartments to San Diego families, with a family-oriented mix of one, two, and three-bedroom homes, a rooftop deck, and a walkable connection to the future trolley stop and the San Diego River Trail. Targeting LEED Gold. Completion is expected in mid-2027.

Proud to partner with Wakeland Housing, and Level 10 Construction on a project that puts families at the heart of one of the region's most significant developments.

Riverwalk at Studio City has been featured on Urbanize LA! The Los Angeles City Planning Commission has approved this mixed-use development at 12555 Ventura Blvd., a major milestone on the path to construction.

The project will deliver 814 apartments, approximately 76,000 sq ft of commercial space, and 46 affordable units to a site just south of the Los Angeles River. MVE + Partners designed the residential component for developers Genton Property Group, RC Development, and Torino Companies, drawing from the site's riverfront topography to create a layered, contextually grounded design.

We're grateful for the partnership and look forward to seeing this vision move forward.

MVE-designed 640 S. St. Andrews has been featured on Urbanize L.A..

Located in Koreatown just west of Wilshire/Western Station, the eight-story building delivers 230 units, one-, and two-bedroom residences above ground-floor retail, with amenities including co-working space, a fitness center, a screening room, and a courtyard pool deck. The project also includes 23 extremely low-income affordable units, supported by Transit-Oriented Communities incentives, reflecting our commitment to thoughtful, community-centered design.

This project reflects a strong collaboration with Jamison Properties CT, whose expertise in entitlement was instrumental in bringing this vision to fruition — a building that adds meaningful density and connectivity to one of Los Angeles' most vibrant neighborhoods.

As construction enters its final phase, we look forward to seeing 640 S. St. Andrews become a defining addition to the Koreatown skyline.
