LOS ANGELES — Panorama Senior Housing has released plans for an assisted living and memory care community on Holt Avenue, 200 feet south of Los Angeles’ Beverly Hills neighborhood. KTGY Architecture + Planning designed the 61,000-square-foot project. Construction is slated to start in early 2021, with delivery planned for late 2022. The community will have a total of 80 resident rooms, 62 for assisted living and 18 for memory care. The memory care units will be on the second floor of the five-story building, with a dedicated common area, dining room and patio. “[My goal is to] come up with buildings that reflect the urban setting,” says Daniel Kianmahd, founder and principal with Panorama. “That’s where baby boomers want to age, in the same urban neighborhood where they raised their families.” “I’m keenly aware of the scarcity of developable sites,” continues Kianmahd. “The solution is to get creative with layouts so we can build the housing needed to combat the housing crisis. Bringing this and other senior-focused developments to fruition is essential to achieving balanced housing solutions for the entire region.”

The new owner plans to replace the existing building with a new state-of-the-art distribution center. By every metric, the Inland Empire continues to be the national leader in the industrial real estate sector. The area enjoys the advantage of being just 40 minutes from the two largest and most active ports in the country. Driven by the strategic expansion of supply chains and the rapid emergence of ecommerce, the Inland Empire remains the most robust industrial market in the country. Annual new construction is approaching 25 million square feet, and the absorption of space is in equal proportion. Rents have increased by 65 percent, sales prices have increased by 80 percent and land prices have more than doubled over the past five years, according to our research. There seems to be some moderation from these double-digit, year-over-year increases as we move into 2020. Yet, the market remains active on all fronts – user, developer and investor alike.
