Lennar plans housing next to Torrance’s Del Amo Fashion Center

Overflow parking and commercial buildings located east of the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance are up for redevelopment with housing, according to a new environmental study.

Lennar Corp., listed as the applicant behind the Fashion Square at Del Amo Project, is aiming to build on a roughly 16.3-acre site at 3405 W. Carson Street and 21405-21515 Madrona Avenue. Lennar is seeking a conditional use permit and other approvals to permit the construction of a new development featuring 260 homes, amenities, parking, and open space. Plans call for 37 different buildings containing a mix of  two-, three-, and four-bedroom townhomes.

KTGY and Woodley Architectural Group are designing the various buildings, which would rise up to four- and five stories in height and feature parapet roofs, fiber cement horizontal siding, and contrasting tones and colors. Landscaping would comprise approximately 25 percent of the site, including a private park at the northeast corner of the property and a 14,500-square-foot central open space.

Pending approval construction of Fashion Square at Del Amo is expected to occur over approximately 41 months.

Developers have also targeted properties on the west side of the mall for housing, including a recently-completed senior complex across Hawthorne Avenue and a proposed 200-unit apartment complex next door.
