Milender White (MW) is constructing 1430 Lincoln for Tishman Speyer, a global real estate developer. This mixed-use Santa Monica project, with a design inspired by the Bauhaus school of the early 20th century, combines high-end apartments with engaging shops and cafes.
Studio T-Square 2’s design for this community features a large central plaza intended as a public amenity, bordered by ground-floor retail units. The design makes a clear distinction between the apartments (brick material) and balcony/circulation zones (wood screens). Tenants can look out over this central plaza from a roof deck with many features.
The five-story building will contain 97 units: 12 studios, 49 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms, 16 three-bedrooms and three two-bedroom townhomes. Construction is Type III over Type I (wood frame on concrete podium). A subterranean garage will have space for 295 cars and 180 bicycles.
This mid-rise building on a 1.5-acre parcel pleasantly contrasts with the taller, denser apartment communities found to the south and west in Santa Monica and offers a village-like setting with shops and services steps from the front doors of the apartments.
