A Neighborhood Oriented Project at 3rd & Fairfax
The Town & Country project will re-envision an outdated shopping center into a thoughtfully-planned and neighborhood-oriented property. Robust community feedback on initial project concepts resulted in a new design that will be both functional – featuring a blend of housing, retail, and open space – and representative of the iconic neighborhood surrounding it.
Existing Property Conditions
- Poor parking configuration
- Functionally obsolete
- Minimal open space
- Inconsistent with surrounding neighborhood
The Vision
- Elegant Mid-Rise Building
- Community Serving Retail
- Public Gathering Spaces
- Approximately 331 New Housing Opportunities
- Enhanced Parking Configuration
- More Greenery and Landscaping
A Community-Driven Process
Community engagement has been a core component of the redevelopment of Town & Country.
That is why the project team continues to proactively meet with local stakeholders, including residents, business owners, Hancock Park Elementary School administrators and parents, local elected officials and more to ensure the project helps meet the neighborhood’s current and future wants and needs.
