City-stamped project plans for 1770 Sawtelle Blvd show a 7-story, 36-unit building called Sawtelle Place, designed by Plus Architects for developer Kayvan Naimi's Causeway Ventures Inc.

The plans, zoning-assessed by LA City Planning on June 17, 2026, replace a single-story office building on the 8,133 square foot lot between Santa Monica and Olympic boulevards, one block from the 405.

The C2-1VL lot's base zoning allows 21 units. Sawtelle Place reaches 36 by stacking two density bonus tools: a 50% bonus under AB 1287 (10.5 units, rounded to 11) plus a further 20% stacked bonus (4 units), for 15 bonus units on top of the 21 base.

In exchange, 6 of the 36 units are income-restricted: 4 Very Low Income and 2 Moderate Income, per the project's recorded density bonus math.
