The Village


The Village is a mixed-use housing development located on Ocean Ave in the civic center core of downtown Santa Monica. The project is the winning concept in an open Developer/Designer competition organized by the City of Santa Monica. The "Living Streets" concept explores a permeable grain of buildings and open space akin to the pedestrian oriented, existing walk streets in Santa Monica. The development consists of 325 housing units including 160 affordable and live-work, community use and commercial spaces, and a small public park - The Village Green. An integrated sustainable design approach will significantly reduce energy, water and material use.

The project is a design build joint venture between the City of Santa Monica, The Related Companies of California and Community Corporation of Santa Monica. The project team includes collaborating firms Moore Ruble Yudell, Pugh+Scarpa, Mia Lehrer Landscape Architects.
