855 N Croft Ave
Los Angeles CA 90069
855 N Croft is a newer construction architectural 33-unit condo building in Beverly Center near West Hollywood. Developed in 2010 by Larian Development, built by Torkian Construction, and interior design by Arroyo Interior Design.
Architect Zoltan Poli of SPF: Architects designed 855 Croft in a modern style. The building is easy to pick out from the crowd because of its Colorful deep blue exterior which is in stark contrast to traditional designed 850 N Croft across the street.
855 Croft is a new iteration of design. Noteworthy for its striking geometries and integration of indoor/outdoor space usually a special privilege only reserved for houses (which SPF designs a lot of)- this building has some of the best balconies in the city. These creative spaces subvert conventional wisdom.
The Developer didn’t get that great outdoor space without some difficulty. They need a variance from the city for rooftop decks and extra building height on the 4th floor, in exchange for the variance the developer added more vegetation at the street level to get the approval from the neighborhood. The Thick Hedges have really filled out now coming in at 10-year mark.
For context, keep in mind this building caused quite a fuss in the neighborhood when it was being built because it was quite revolutionary at that time. It had a big influence on a lot of the new Development you are seeing now in Melrose Pl, and West Hollywood Design District.

10 Blackburn
8408 Blackburn Ave
Los Angeles CA 90048
10 Blackburn is a brand-new small lot development in Beverly Center. Built in 2019 by WCH Communities these townhouses have Modern designs and are 3 Bedroom 3.5 bath that range in size from 1,700 to 1,800 sqft. I love the Kitchens, rooftop decks, and attached 2 car garages. The Location is very close to both the Grove and Farmers Market, restaraunts on 3rd, and the newly revamped Beverly Center.
Location
Real Estate
There are 10 townhomes at 8408 Blackburn in total. Townhomes #1 and #6 are street facing (#6 is the largest floorplan and the most expensive) and have street entrances. Townhouses 1-5 on the East side have “A” floorplans that are slightly smaller and the 2nd bedroom has a reach-in closet instead of a walk-in closet. Townhomes #6-#10 on the west side have “B” Floorplans and are slightly larger and are slightly more expensive.
Each townhouse comes with an attached 2 car garage. There is 1 full space, and 1 compact. The Garages have an electric vehicle charger. On the main level is 1 bedroom with its own bath- this works great for a guest bedroom or a home office. Up the stairs leads to a big open living room and combined dining room with Quartz counters, GE Profile appliances, and European cabinets. Sorry, no fireplaces. A sliding glass door leads out to a balcony that overlooks the driveway. The Developer finishes included dark European Wide Oak plank flooring throughout including the stairs and bedrooms. I like that the 2nd level as a powder bathroom, this is great for guests. Up the stairs to the 3rd level are 2 bedrooms and the laundry closet. Units have gas so gas ranges and gas dryers. The master bedroom has its own walk-in closet and master bathroom. Each bedroom has its own en suite bathroom. Up the stairs to the rooftop, there is a large outdoor area that has a gas stub for BBQ and hose bib for water plants. The views from the roof deck are incredible!
Prices are $1,400,000 to $1,600,000.
Association
Small Lot developments are individually owned homes. You own the land underneath, however, there is usually a small maintenance fee to pay for the common areas. 10 Blackburn has a $95/mo. maintenance fee that pays for the upkeep of common area driveway, mailboxes, retaining wall, and landscaping.

The Summerset – 117 S Doheny Dr is a 42-unit condo conversion building in Beverly Center. Built in 1972, the building was converted to condos in 1980 by Laurentian Development Co. The original condos came with wall-to-wall carpeting, draperies, ceramic tile kitchens, and balconies. This building has a Beverly Hills Look to it. I like the Awning- but don’t be fooled, no doorman here. This building has low HOAs. The HOA is currently planning to redo the exterior and lobby in the near future. One thing I like about these floorplans is the very big living rooms.

121 N Croft is a 29-unit mid-rise condo building located in Beverly Center. Built-in 1972, the HOA has been fixing the building up- they have already painted the exterior, and replastered the pool, and painted the hallways and installed laminate flooring in the hallways. CURRENTLY redoing the lobby, repurposing the rec room as a gym, and investigating adding in unit laundry to each unit (the 03 stack is testing it). This location is very walkable with 3rd Beverly and the Beverly Center all within 5 minutes walk. And don’t forget about the Grove and LACMA nearby also! The architect for the building was Samuel Wacht. Originally built as apartments it was later condo converted.

928 N Croft Ave
West Hollywood CA 90069
928 N Croft Ave is a 12-unit newer construction modern condo building in the West Hollywood adjacent neighborhood of Beverly Center. Built in 2007, by Developer Marc Guetta – these condos have high-end finishes and Big SQFT. The Building has low HOA dues because it doesn’t offer a ton of amenities, just a nice rooftop deck. One of the things I love about 928 N Croft is the location right between Santa Monica Blvd. and Melrose Place. I don’t know why, but this building has a Santa Monica Vibe to it. I think the builder did an amazing job on the Landscaping. There is a lot of Slate tiling on the main walkway and in balconies, and sand glass. Light is good because they put in big windows.

Appreciation:
10 out of the 12-floor plans are single-story, and two are townhouse style. The two first floor units in the back are townhouse style (#102 and #103). The building has a mix of 1,2, and 3 bedroom floorplans.
The floorplan layouts are a bit confusing because of the two townhouse condos on the 1st floor, and there are only 4 condos on the 3rd Floor penthouse level. 304 and 303 split the space of 104 & 202 for a bigger floorplan on the top level. Condos #01 and (105, 203, 304) face the street- 302, 102, 303, 103 face the rear.
(3x) 1 BR sqft 1,000 to 1,250 PRICE $950,000 to $1,000,000
(5x) 2 BR sqft 1,800 to 2,000 PRICE $1,400,000 to $1,600,000
(4x) 3 BR sqft 2,000 to 2,200 PRICE $1,700,000 to $1,800,000
One thing I like about these condos is the “beefy” balconies, with slate tile flooring and sand glass and stainless steel railings. You can have a BBQ out there, or plenty of space for a table and 2 chairs. Some of the condos on 2nd and 3rd floor have views.
The finishes in these condos standout- Custom Italian cabinetry by Bontempi, Cesaerstone counters, Bosch appliances. Bisazza tiles for the backsplash and bathrooms. Elica range hoods, under cabinet lighting, soft close doors, Deep soaking tubs by Zuma. Slate balcony floors. Walnut hardwood floors throughout living areas, Berber carpet in bedrooms (don’t love the berber). The master bathroom tile flooring oddly doesn’t match because it is neutral browns and the building color scheme is neutral greys. Mitsubishi Ductless HVAC, Lutron lightning dimming systems, Security video, and intercom Siedle.
Smart floorplans, with open square kitchens to large combined living room and dining room. The living rooms have an attached balcony. Every bedroom has a bathroom.
