Developers Plan 41-Unit Apartment Building in Glendale

A development team has filed plans to build a six-story, 41-unit apartment building in south Glendale.

The project would rise at 345 West Cerritos Avenue, near the Glendale Metrolink station, on a 0.3-acre property that’s currently occupied by a 1960s-built brick office building. The plan would replace that one-story building with the apartment complex and a subterranean garage, according to a description given to the L.A. City Planning Department.

According to property records, the site is owned by a group called Allegro Capital Partners, which has owned the property since 2013. The group’s registered agent is David Stevenson; in 2013, Stevenson and his wife bought the site for $1.3 million, and ownership was subsequently transferred to the new entity.

The developers are requesting density bonuses; a Glendale official did not immediately respond to an inquiry for more details about the plans, which were recorded earlier this month.

The plans come several months after Glendale, a city of nearly 200,000 people, adopted an updated Housing Element that calls for more than 13,000 new units. Last year the state also awarded the city, along with nearby Burbank and Pasadena, millions of dollars for affordable housing projects.
