Hollywood Park’s New Design-Forward Residence, The Wesley, Now Open 1024 682 Madison Silvers

Hollywood Park’s New Design-Forward Residence, The Wesley, Now Open

Hollywood Park, the largest urban mixed-use mega-development under construction in the Western United States, officially welcomes its first residents at The Wesley, making this the landmark destination’s residential debut. Following a successful pre-leasing launch, the thoughtfully crafted residences offer the best of Los Angeles living, with walkable access to Hollywood Park’s forthcoming dynamic line-up of restaurants, shops, entertainment, and recreational space.

“We are excited to open The Wesley at Hollywood Park and welcome our first residents,” said Jason Gannon, managing director, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park. “The intentional, curated design of our residential offering extends Stan Kroenke’s vision to make Hollywood Park a true city within a city and a world-class destination for all to enjoy.”

Comprised of 101 modern residences, The Wesley is the first residential building at Hollywood Park to open and features a collection of light-filled residences with floorplans ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, as well as two-story townhomes. The elevated architecture and design were envisioned by prominent architects Hart Howerton and TCA Architects and interior design firm Redmond Aldrich Design. Each residence features airy interiors and rich details, such as soaring 9-foot ceilings with expansive windows, wide-plank floors throughout, gourmet kitchens with Samsung appliances and Kohler fixtures, and European-inspired flat-panel cabinetry.

Celebrating indoor-outdoor living, the residences at The Wesley are set in an oasis-like atmosphere.  Lush landscaping and starlit views can be enjoyed via private outdoor terraces and balconies, as well as in highly amenitized outdoor spaces such as:

  • A sky deck with fireplaces and views of SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park’s Lake Park
  • A palm tree-lined sun terrace with a dipping spa, retro loungers, and spacious cabanas
  • An outdoor screening area to enjoy blockbuster films or art-house indies
  • Pool-adjacent pavilions with areas to socialize, entertain, and watch live sports and films
  • An outdoor BBQ kitchen

“The convergence of design, art, and history is palpable throughout every corner of The Wesley,” says Christopher Meany, Partner at Wilson Meany, Hollywood Park’s development manager. “The sophisticated residences showcase the best of Southern California’s quintessential lifestyle infused within an environment that cannot be discovered anywhere else. Now, more than ever, renters crave convenience, accessibility, and full-frill features, all of which can be experienced at The Wesley.”

With thoughtfully designed communal spaces intended to foster resident connection and encourage engagement, The Wesley offers many areas for residents to interact and enjoy their daily activities and routines. Additional modern amenities include:

  • Plentiful work-from-home areas, such as library tables, desks, booths, and café-style tables        
  • A game room with richly appointed interiors for residents to socialize, unwind, or entertain
  • An airy fitness studio, complete with weights, sauna, and dedicated spaces for yoga and Pilates
  • A private suite to accommodate residents’ overnight guests
  • A light-filled pet spa with bathing and grooming stations

Now open and available for leasing, The Wesley serves as a prime location for residents to enjoy immediate access to world-class events and entertainment right at their front door. Hollywood Park will ultimately encompass up to 2,500 residences. Its initial residential phase includes 314 new residences, The Wesley’s 101 homes and 213 additional units at its next-door neighbor, The Crosby, which is nearing completion.

Hollywood Park, an Inglewood Jewel 1024 614 Madison Silvers

Hollywood Park, an Inglewood Jewel

Since the SoFi Stadium opened in 2020, the new home of the Los Angeles Chargers and Super Bowl champions the Los Angeles Rams, has brought much attention to a revitalized Inglewood. However, that was only the beginning.

Spanning nearly 300 acres, Hollywood Park is the largest urban mixed-use development under construction in the Western United States. Developer and Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s vision for the site when completed will offer new apartment residences, public parks, a lake and entertainment venues, anchored by a retail district and surrounded by creative office space. The long-term final buildout of Hollywood Park will include 2,500 homes, 900,000 square feet of office space, 890,000 square feet of retail and a 300-key hotel. The complex has 25 acres of open space featuring a six-acre artificial lake fronting SoFi Stadium.

“We have about 15 million square feet of entitlements,” said Jason Gannon, managing director of SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park. “We’re in our phase one for the project, which is about 5 million square feet whenever you include SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater, American Airlines Plaza, the NFL Media, first phase of residential and retail as well.”
The mixed-use development, which billions of dollars is being spent on, is all linked by walkable paseos and plazas and centered on SoFi Stadium.

There are components of the project that have already come online, such as SoFi Stadium, which at 3.1 million square feet and the ability to accommodate 100,000 fans, is the largest stadium in the National Football League. YouTube Theater, a 227,000-square-foot live entertainment venue, meanwhile, opened in August 2021. NFL is also betting on the project and in 2021 relocated from Culver City to 214,063 square feet within a 450,000-square-foot class A office building at Hollywood Park. There is an additional 74,922 square feet of studio and creative space devoted to the brand’s growing digital and programming departments.

“Within five miles of our site, there’s some 900,000 to 1 million people, all of whom constitute a market that anywhere else would be a whole city and yet has been traditionally underserved,” said Christopher Meany, partner at Wilson Meany, Hollywood Park’s development manager. “The real superpower of the place is the incredible cosmopolitan community that surrounds it. This is the one part of L.A. that didn’t have that social retail heart. Our project is actually about creating that.”

Residences ready

The first two apartment buildings totaling 314 units will start leasing this month. The site is entitled for up to 2,500 residences.
The Residences at Hollywood Park, consisting of the Crosby and the Wesley, is walkable to shopping, dining, sports and entertainment venues and public parks within the Hollywood Park complex. The residences were designed by prominent architects Hart Howerton and TCA Architects and interior design firms Kenneth Brown Design and Redmond Aldrich Design. The Crosby, with 213 units, and the Wesley, with 101 units, will offer a collection of residences from studios to three-bedroom units ranging 700 to 1,450 square feet.

Renderings of The Wesley and The Crosby.

“The buildings have different personalities,” Janice Thacher, retail and residential partner at Wilson Meany, said. “The Wesley is the smaller of the two buildings. It has a cozier feel. The Crosby has a nice pool deck. Both buildings are focused on indoor/outdoor living. A lot of outdoor space, roof decks, terraces, highly amenitized.”

Meany said that both were “nearing completion.” He did not disclose how much apartments at the Crosby and Wesley would rent for, but said they would be leased at market rate. According to Rent Café, the average rent in Inglewood is $2,254 at an average apartment size of 772 square feet.

The Crosby’s and Wesley’s combined 314 units remain a long way off from the 2,500 homes entitled at Hollywood Park.
“We’ll build out as the market demands,” Thacher said. “Just depending on the pace of the leasing, we’ll start focusing on future phases of residential development.”

“We are continually evaluating the residential inventory based on demand,” Gannon added. “Trying to balance the amount of construction activity at the site, we think it’s important to finish up our first phase of residential and get the residents here at the site and then turn to additional residential down the road.”

A new residential community takes shape within San Francisco Bay.

Two decades in the making, The Residences at Yerba Buena Island provides San Francisco with a new landmark neighborhood. This urban oasis is nestled on the remarkably distinct setting of San Francisco Bay’s naturally formed island, and offers a first-of-its-kind living experience with sweeping panoramic views, forward-thinking residences and wellness-oriented amenities. The landmark project is part of the adjacent Treasure Island master plan, encompassing residences, schools, hotels, retail, entertainment venues, a vibrant art scene, an unprecedented 300 acres of open space and parks, and a newly opened ferry terminal.

“After 20 years of thoughtful planning and collaboration with the City of San Francisco and a team of world-class designers and architects, our ambitions have come to fruition with the opening of the Residences at Yerba Buena Island,” said Chris Meany, partner at Wilson Meany, boutique San Francisco-based developer of mixed-use, residential, retail, office and master plan urban infill properties. “We are proud to present an inspired, new neighborhood in San Francisco.”

Collaboratively designed by Hart Howerton, Edmonds + Lee Architects, Meyer Davis Studio and Aidlin Darling Design, The Residences include three distinct projects: The Bristol, a collection of 124 residences within a six story condominium building, The Townhomes, single-family row houses with private entrances and attached garages, and The Flats, private, LEED® certified single-floor luxury residences that emphasize an indoor-outdoor way of life.

The first-to-open Bristol condominiums are perched on a forested hilltop offering panoramic views of Clipper Cove and the eastern span of the Bay Bridge. Featuring GreenPoint Rated sustainable interior design by Edmonds + Lee Architects, Bristol units are centered around a landscaped open-air inner courtyard, anchored by a Grandiflora Victoria Magnolia tree, providing residents a park-like setting in which to gather with neighbors and friends. Ranging from studios to spacious three-bedroom residences, The Bristol’s gracious floor plans have been thoughtfully designed with floor to ceiling windows to maximize sunlight, Bay views and entertaining spaces.

Upon entry to the ground floor lobby, residents are greeted by large walls of framed glass through which the sun warmly filters. A continuous wall of wood draws the eye to the richly paneled reception desk detailed with a slab of Bardiglio marble, and to the luxurious height of the space, which is leavened with woven pendant lights from Contardi. End tables line the walls, breaking up the space and creating a residential foyer, while a cantilevered custom designed walnut bench offers sophisticated seating. The outdoor terrace intersects the exterior bustle with the calm of the building’s interior; decorative wicker lighting from Bover accompanies the outdoor furniture that invites residents to curl up, rest, or engage in private conversation.

The Bristol offers studio, one, two and three-bedroom luxury residences and penthouses, ranging in size from approximately 630 to 2,248 square feet, and featuring panoramic views of Clipper Cove, the eastern span of the Bay Bridge, and the surrounding hills. Gracious floor plans include floor to ceiling windows and spaces for entertaining, with select homes offering private balconies. Tranquil living spaces are complemented by natural materials and textures that add inviting warmth. An array of amenity-rich common areas are found throughout the building, including a fitness studio, a dedicated children’s playroom, lounges and a rooftop terrace outfitted with built-in grills, an outdoor fireplace, outdoor seating for drinking, dining and socializing and sweeping views.

The Residences community is centered within The Island Club, a private, multi-level gathering place offering a 10,000-square-foot oasis to relax and recharge, and featuring dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows for unobstructed views of the San Francisco skyline, Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge. The Island Club amenities include a lounge, dining room, bar, game room, spa, sauna, massage room, locker rooms, fitness studio, terrace and outdoor lap pool.

Conveniences within the entire The Residences properties include doorstep package delivery and 24/7 security, as well as access to à la carte services including dry cleaning, car washing, pet care including dog walking, wellness services such as private training, massage and a nutritionist, housekeeping and grocery delivery through Whole Foods/Amazon Fresh, Good Eggs, Farmstead and more. Additionally, residents are invited to indulge in a complimentary beverage cart available daily in the lobby for fresh coffee, tea and espresso, and weekly hosted cocktail events allow for meeting new neighbors and friends.

“The opening of the Residences at Yerba Buena Island marks a rare celebration for San Francisco – the transformative beginning of a new neighborhood,” said San Francisco Mayor London Breed. “The unprecedented project revitalizes the link between San Francisco and the East Bay, providing new possibilities for residents, locals, and visitors to explore our incredible city. I look forward to watching this innovative community blossom and thrive as thousands of new homes come to Yerba Buena and Treasure Island.”

Renderings revealed for the first apartments at Inglewood’s Hollywood Park development

The Wesley and The Crosby will feature 314 units

Construction is pushing toward the finish line at The Crosby and The Wesley, the first residential buildings at Inglewood’s Hollywood Park complex, the massive development from L.A. Rams owner Stan Kroenke which is billed as the largest mixed-use project on the West Coast.

Skydeck at The Wesley overlooking SoFi StadiumHollywood Park

The new development at Prairie Street and Century Boulevard, anchored by SoFi Stadium, will eventually feature 2,500 residential units across more than 300 acres of land. The Wesley and the Crosby, the first two apartment buildings to open on the site, will feature 314 units that are scheduled to begin pre-leasing in January 2023.

Hart Howerton and TCA Architects are designing both buildings, while interiors are being handled by Kenneth Brown Design and Redmond Aldrich Design. Plans call for a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, as well as on-site amenities.

Both are depicted as contemporary low-rise buildings, clad in stucco, which complement the new housing with unique common areas, as well as amenities including sky decks, fitness studios, and swimming pools.

“The development of our residences was inspired by the abundance of art, culture, and history in Inglewood, resulting in two sophisticated residences that feature purposeful design and one-of-a-kind living,” said Christopher Meany, a partner at Wilson Meany, which is managing the Hollywood Park development. “This was an important element as we began to execute on Mr. Kroenke’s vision for the residential, knowing that Hollywood Park aspires to become top-of-mind for renters seeking storied collections of full-frill units with first-class amenities.”

Lobby at The Crosby Hollywood Park

The final buildout of Hollywood Park, in addition to the proposed 2,500 homes, is expected to include nearly 900,000 square feet of offices, 890,000 square feet of retail space, and a 300-room hotel.  Other elements of the project, including SoFi Stadium and a new performing arts venue, are already open. Likewise, 25 acres of open space are planned throughout the complex, highlighted by a six-acre artificial lake which fronts SoFi Stadium.

Commercial tenants at Hollywood Park include the NFL Network, NFL.com, the NFL app, and NFL Redzone, which have leased 290,000 square feet of office space, as well as Sky’s Gourmet Tacos, Cinepolis, and Iconix Fitness.

Hollywood Park, which has kicked off something of a development boom in Inglewood, will also be joined by a similar mixed-use project to the south. The Los Angeles Clippers are poised to join the Rams and Chargers in calling the city home, breaking ground last year on a $1.2-billion arena and entertainment complex directly across Century Boulevard.

The City of Inglewood, in the hope of connecting the new sporting venues with rail transit, is also pursuing the construction of a 1.8-mile automated people mover system which would run between the Crenshaw/LAX Line and Hollywood Park.

The Bristol is now open on Yerba Buena Island. The condominium building is perched on a forested hillside in the center of the bay. It is the first of many projects that will transform Yerba Buena and Treasure island into a new dense neighborhood of San Francisco. The opening is announced by developer Wilson Meany and investment firm Stockbridge Capital Group.

In celebration of the opening of the Bristol, YIMBY was given a personal tour of the six-story project designed by the local architecture firm Hart Howerton. The building offers for sale 124 residences ranging in size from studios to three bedrooms. With each unit, residents are provided with a suite of amenities, services, and close proximity to the island’s 72 acres of parks and five miles of trails.

“After 20 years of thoughtful planning and collaboration with the City of San Francisco and a team of world-class designers and architects, today our ambitions come to fruition with the opening of the Residences at Yerba Buena Island,” said Chris Meany, Partner at Wilson Meany.

The Bristol

The resident experience will be assisted by general manager Kate Drobny and resident services director Amy Vleck. The property promises doorstep package delivery, 24/7 security, and access to dry cleaning, car washing, pet care, and arrangements for wellness services like private training, massages, nutritionists, housekeeping, and grocery delivery.

The project exterior is designed by Hart Howerton, with interiors by Edmonds + Lee Architects. The structure conforms to the irregular parcel shape, with arrow-shaped floorplans hugging the landscaped courtyard anchored by a matured Grandiflora Victoria Magnolia tree. During my visit, the recently re-planted tree even adorned a few flowers.

“We worked closely with Wilson Meany and the design team to create a neighborhood emblematic of the island’s unique setting, where urban San Francisco living is elevated by nature. The Residences at Yerba Buena Island is the collaborative realization of exceptional site design, architecture, amenities, nature, and public space harmoniously coming together,” said Hart Howerton partner Tim Slattery.

The interiors make use of natural materials and textures throughout, from the lobby and entrance and hallways and into the residences, with wood-clad walls, a slab of Bardiglio marble for the reception desk, wood door frames for each residence, and Carrera marble features in each unit to name a few details.

The Bristol offers studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, including some penthouses. The condominiums range in size from approximately 630 to 2,250 square feet. The prominent location gives prospective residents a variety of views to choose from, including the recently-opened Clipper Cove beach and the changing Treasure Island, the eastern span of the Bay Bridge, and the surrounding hills.

Each unit includes floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize natural lighting and ambiance for the entertaining spaces. Select homes will even include private balconies. Studios and one-bedrooms will include a spacious gathering space, while the two- and three-bedroom units offer a living room, master suites with walk-in closets, and bathrooms with freestanding soaking tubs and marble vanity countertops.

Vivian Lee, AIA, Principle of Edmonds + Lee Architects, said of their work, “we layered natural materials to create a feeling of sophisticated coziness and warmth, while also introducing depth and texture. The sleek interiors, purposefully neutral, invite each owner to bring their own style, work in perfect concert with sweeping views of the Bay’s most iconic sights.”

The first floor of Bristol includes an amenity space with a children’s playroom and a fully equipped gym. The space will function as an amenity space for residents of Bristol and future residents of the townhomes until the opening of the Island Club.

The Island Club will be a multi-level community gathering space designed by Aidlin Darling Design. The 10,000 square feet center will offer panoramic views from the San Francisco skyline to the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge. Inside, amenities will include the lounge, dining room, bar, game room, fitness center, and an outdoor lap pool. For relaxation, there will also be a spa, sauna, and massage room.

Crowning the Bristol will be a furnished rooftop terrace, complete with a built-in grill and outdoor fireplace with views of the new Bay Bridge tower and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Yerba Buena Island welcomes first residents. We have exclusive photos of the first building.

lobby area looking out into a courtyard with greenery and modern architecture surrounding

As construction crews were busy carving the foundations of what someday soon will be 31 townhomes into the side of a hill on Yerba Buena Island on Thursday, a 124-unit condominium building atop the island was already humming with life.

The morning sunlight filtered through the glass-framed walls of the lobby of The Bristol as some of the building’s first residents spilled out of elevators into an open deck lined with garden furniture.

Sitting in a shaded corner that overlooks a courtyard anchored by a magnolia tree, developer Chris Meany described waking up in the six-story building with underground parking and panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay as “awakening to the spiritual experience” of living in San Francisco.

“It is my belief that in San Francisco, as opposed to any other city in the world, you have that experience during the day of having your breath caught,” he said. “And we’re just going to have it happen more often here than it does in the city.”

A dozen households with the dream — and funds — for living a healthy distance from the city center yet close enough to keep an eye on it were in the process of closing on one of The Bristol’s luxury condos last week, according to Meany. Roughly a third of the units have sold since February 2021, when sales began.

With a hilltop park and $5 ferry rides, Yerba Buena Island could soon be a destination 1024 683 Madison Silvers

People heading west on the Bay Bridge in recent months have seen an unprecedented sight: a multistory condominium building wrapped in scaffolding, just yards away from where the bridge’s eastern span touches down on Yerba Buena Island.

Now the scaffolding is coming down — but that only marks the beginning of a paradigm-shifting remake of a rocky outcrop that until 1931 was named Goat Island. Within a year, a hilltop park could be the Bay Area’s newest scenic destination, above craggy slopes that will begin to be inhabited by people willing and able to spend upward of $4 million on spacious modern homes with drop-dead views.

“You’re going to see the unveiling of an area that people hadn’t explored before,” said Tim Slattery, a partner at the architecture firm Hart Howerton. “It’s a complex jigsaw puzzle, but things are starting to come together.”

Slattery and his firm have been working since 2016 on the architecture and layout of buildings on the slopes of a small island that could only be reached by boats before the completion of the Bay Bridge in 1936. Not long after that it was joined by Treasure Island, a 403-acre plateau summoned from the bay to serve as the home of the Golden Gate International Exposition that opened in 1939.

 

The slogan: “San Francisco as it was meant to be lived.”

For early residents, that life won’t include the more urban scale and retail features envisioned on Treasure Island, where most of the construction still involves putting infrastructure in place. But for Meany, starting on the former Goat Island and working north makes perfect sense.

“One thing Yerba Buena Island does is allow us to create, quickly, a whole environment,” he explained. “The notion of an intimate community.”

Many of the basics already are in place, such as the three new water tanks that will serve both islands and have a 5.3 million cubic gallon capacity. The main roadways are complete. The causeway between the two islands has been rebuilt.

Just west of the Bristol, though not visible from the Bay Bridge, foundations are in for the first 31 ultra-lux townhouses and flats. Above them, the terrain is being shaped for the first half of a 6-acre hilltop park designed by noted Oakland landscape architect Walter Hood. Slightly downhill will be a boulder-studded dog park that Meany boasts will have a three-bridge view.

If current schedules hold, all this should be finished within 12 months. By then, the first new housing on Treasure Island also will have opened — a six-story complex for formerly homeless veterans — and the waterfront park should be under construction.

That project, which includes 775 housing units in the first phase alone, easily could stretch out for a decade or more. The remake of Yerba Buena Island is likely to be completed long before that, discreet though most of it might be.

“We’re trying to create an experience out there,” Slattery said. “It will be the one place in the bay where you can take in the entire region.”

Here’s a look at transformation of new SF neighborhood on Treasure Island, Yerba Buena Island 1024 512 Madison Silvers

Here’s a look at transformation of new SF neighborhood on Treasure Island, Yerba Buena Island

Eventually, there will be 8,000 new homes with more than 2,000 designated for affordable housing

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — San Francisco Mayor London Breed and city officials toured Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island on Wednesday where a transformational new neighborhood is taking shape on the site of the former naval base.

Mayor Breed and city officials traveled across the Bay by ferry on what will be a new regular service between the San Francisco Ferry Building and Treasure Island come January.

The two decades in the making project on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island has seen massive strides recently in housing, transportation and infrastructure development.

“It’s amazing to see what this place is going to become for people and how this place is really going to begin to come alive again,” said Mayor Breed.

The Treasure Island Ferry Terminal was just completed this summer.

Other infrastructure improvements include new roads and pathways, water and power facilities, and public parks.

Parts of Treasure Island are raised three feet for sea level protection. Geotechnical work has strengthened its foundation and ensured its seismic resiliency.
Eventually, there will be 8,000 new homes with more than 2,000 designated for affordable housing.

The first new homes to be built on Treasure Island are a 105-unit, 100-percent affordable housing complex for formerly and currently homeless veterans.

“This is a former military base and so to have the first project honor those who have served means a lot,” said Sherry Williams, One Treasure Island Executive Director.

“We’re so pleased that that shows the city’s commitment to making this a place for everyone,” said Chris Meany, Treasure Island Community Development.

At build-out, Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island will boast stores, restaurants, offices, and 300 acres of new parks.The approximately $6 billion dollar project is expected to create 2,000 union construction jobs and 3,000 permanent jobs.
