The Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza redevelopment is a multi-phase, mixed-use project approved by the City of Los Angeles. When fully built, the plan allows for new housing, neighborhood-serving retail, and public spaces designed to reconnect the site to the surrounding community.
The approved plan allows for:
Publicly accessible streets, pathways, and open areas for this project are designed to make the site feel more open, connected, and easy to navigate for everyone. New walkable routes and gathering spaces aim to link surrounding neighborhoods to shops, dining, and future housing—creating safer, more welcoming ways to move through the area on foot, by bike, or by transit.
The new Neighborhood-serving retail stores designed to bring back the everyday shops and services residents rely on—right where they live. This retail mix prioritizes practical, community-focused businesses such as grocery and essentials, health and personal care, local dining, and service providers that support daily life.
Restaurants and dining are envisioned as community-focused places to gather, celebrate, and enjoy a wide variety of food options close to home. The dining mix is intended to include casual, family-friendly spots, quick bites, and sit-down restaurants that reflect local tastes and the cultural richness of the surrounding neighborhoods—along with opportunities for locally owned and emerging food businesses.
New for-sale and rental housing opportunities are planned to expand local housing options while supporting a vibrant, mixed-use community. The goal is to introduce a range of home types and price points—creating opportunities for current residents, first-time buyers, families, and renters to live near everyday services, transit, and community amenities.
Phase 1 includes the construction of ninety-two (92) three-story duplex homes along Santa Rosalia Drive. Homes will feature three bedrooms, flexible living space, private garages, and designs intended to integrate with the surrounding neighborhood.
