A proposal to block the construction of District at Warner Center, a 1.1 million-square-foot commercial development has been denied by the Los Angeles City Planning Commission. This means construction can go through for the Kaplan Companies development.Â
Located at 6100 N. Canoga Avenue, Los Angeles, the project involves a 204-room hotel. Furthermore, the developers want to put up 852 residential units and 2,200 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor. 1,400 parking lot spaces are also planned for the development, giving ample room for vehicles. The District at Warner Center is designed by AO and will take approximately four years to complete. The construction date has not been announced yet, however.

Construction will take place in three phases. The first phase includes the construction of The North Building. This is an 11-story residential structure, 156 feet tall. It will feature 445 units atop a 2,171-square-foot market. It will have a parking lot for 717 cars.
Phase two includes the construction of The South Building. This is also an 11-story building 152 feet tall. It will have 407 units atop a parking lot for 637 vehicles.
Phase three involves the construction of a 12-story hotel. The 154-foot structure will have 204 guest rooms. It will also feature a lobby, bar, outdoor patio and bistro. There will also be a parking space for 112 cars.
History on the District at Warner Center
The project is expected to replace a local Fry’s Electronics store which has been out of business since early 2021. This left behind plenty of space for this specific project and more sites for other developments in Southern California. The project was faced with two appellants, identified as the West Valley Alliance for Optimal Living and Jeff Bornstein. The appeals argued that the project should be required to undergo further study under the California Environmental Quality Act. They made the case for the project to provide a dedication of land for park creation, rather than paying fees to the city.
