This new 17 home apartment building for developer Wylan James sits in Playa Vista, part of Southern California’s technology capital, Silicon Beach.

Spanning the Pacific Ocean to the Hollywood Hills, from Santa Monica to LAX, Silicon Beach is increasingly home to a range of innovative tech companies. An estimated 500 companies from start-ups like Bird and Fair to established giants like Google and Facebook have located here, and Silicon Beach is set for further expansion.

Jefferson Boulevard provides much needed accommodation for the growing tech workforce servicing this burgeoning industry. The building comprises 8 x 3-bed and 9 x 2-bed large, light-filled apartments, each with its own private terrace, en-suite bathrooms, ample storage and parking provision

Communal areas within the scheme acknowledge the crossover of working and social spaces for this target market. A comfortable working lounge at ground floor level provides an alternative space to working at home or in the office. A generous roof deck at the top of the building has fire pits, barbeque areas, sofas, yoga mats, sun loungers, and outdoor dining to encourage social interaction across the building.

The scheme typifies Wylan James’ approach to providing aspirational accommodation for the next generation.
