The Vermont
Residential transit-oriented development
A multi-family, transit-oriented development, The Vermont transformed a long-vacant area into a vibrant urban residential environment. Located on a two-acre site on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, directly adjacent to the Metro Wilshire-Vermont Red Line station, the project set the standard for TOD in Los Angeles, which is now the predominant development focus in the region.

The Vermont remains one of the largest residential developments in Los Angeles since the 2008 recession, and stands as a shining example of modern, urban, transit-oriented living.
