Brentwood: Century Investments Files 325-Unit Wilshire Tower

A $100 million filing submitted to the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety on October 27 proposes a 325-unit, 41-story apartment tower at 11701 W. Wilshire Blvd. in Brentwood, the same shopping-center corner where Century Investments has pursued redevelopment since 2022. The filing is a preliminary SB 330 zoning-review application, not an approved building permit, and its scope dwarfs the 152-unit, 24-story tower the firm previously unveiled for that address.

Why it matters

SB 330 preliminary applications let a developer lock in the zoning rules in effect on the filing date before any future downzoning can apply, a tool increasingly used on the Westside to pursue larger projects than a site’s existing entitlements would otherwise support. A tower this size at Wilshire and Barrington would be among the tallest residential filings in Brentwood, a low-rise corridor where the 4200 Wilshire and other Mid-Wilshire filings this fall have mostly stayed under 30 stories.

The numbers

Permit 26010-10000-04728 covers a new mixed-use building with 325 residential units and 3,170 square feet of ground-floor retail on parcel 4265010084, declared valuation $100 million, status “PC Assigned” as of filing. That is more than double the unit count and nearly double the height of the 152-unit, 24-story, 67,000-square-foot-office design Century Investments filed for the same Brentwood Place shopping-center site in 2022. The filing lands against a tightening Los Angeles rental market: metro asking rents were up 1.9% year over year to $2,929 a month in September 2026.

What’s next

A preliminary SB 330 filing is not a building permit and carries no approved unit count. Century Investments must still submit a formal entitlement case to the Department of City Planning, and the Brentwood community plan area typically draws neighborhood opposition to height increases of this size.
