Two KPRS Projects Win Top Recognition with LA Business Journal

Our project teams were thrilled to be named the Gold winners earlier this week at the Los Angeles Business Journal’s Commercial Real Estate Awards ceremony.

Named first place for the Office category is The Depot, and named first place for the Multifamily category is the Aston at Gateway.

The Depot is a new three-story creative office constructed in the historic Jefferson Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. The building provides 77,000 square feet of office space and is conveniently situated over a parking garage podium with two subterranean parking levels. Built using the ConXtech system, the structural steel is visible to the interior, providing an artful centerpiece nostalgic to a former factory.

As neighboring Culver City is now home to several streaming giants, appeal for the unique and vibrant West Adams neighborhood has also grown, attracting numerous tech, media and entertainment companies. In addition to being identified as an opportunity zone for economic growth, construction of The Depot furthers this trend and brings an added advantage for the next industry leader to occupy its floors.

The Aston at Gateway is an apartment community offering upscale amenities and flexible floorplans for residents in the vibrant community of El Monte. Located on a 2-acre site in the heart of Los Angeles, the podium constructed, five story structure features 208 market-rate units with an additional 25,000 square feet of available retail space.

As a previously vacant site, construction of the Aston at Gateway is part of a long-term development plan for the area surrounding the re-constructed El Monte Busway and Transit Center. With both affordable and now market-rate housing flanking the transit center, the opportunity to live central to a commuter-friendly environment creates unparalleled possibilities for both individuals and families.
