and a private direct-access garage. They are also smarthomes with digital thermostats, electric vehicle charging and solar panel capabilities. They are nestled in a quiet residential tree-lined street that is also within walking distance of the Culver City Metro/Ivy Station development and just blocks from the new Apple Media, Amazon Studios, and Warner Media campuses. Another development BCAPG is wrapping up is ten homes in the heart of Hollywood, a stonesthrow away from the Netflix campuses. These homes will be great venues to entertain guests, with open floorplans and private rooftop decks with unobstructed views of the Hollywood sign. Each home has an extra room on the ground floor which can be utilized as a home office, gym, or Airbnb depending on the needs of the owner. The Lodi Homes combine contemporary features with historical elements derived from Mediterranean design. This combination was not chosen at random; rather, it reflects the thoughtful integration of new design with already-existing ones in the area. “We used the architecture firm, ‘ktgy,’ which has completed a number of prominent projects in Hollywood,” says Leishman. “We examined the neighborhood and discovered a beautiful, nearly 100-year-old iconic structure to draw inspiration from. The Studio Club was a women’s dormitory to help young women in Hollywood get on their feet and counted Marilyn Monroe, Ayn Rand, and Barbara Eden as former residents. It’s Mediterranean/ Italian Renaissance Revival architecture provided the foundation for our design as well as some of the detailing around our doors and windows. We are very happy about how the elevations turned out, and the incorporation of neighborhood characteristics went a long way in getting us unanimous approval during the entitlement process.” Developing projects that seamlessly integrate into the surrounding neighborhood is only one example of the attention to detail and service that BCAPG offers. BCAPG incorporates acquisition, entitlement, development, and management into their platform. Their structure and service give them a competitive edge. Mensch adds, “We are vertically integrated, and therefore able to understand the full scope of the development process, from entitlement, design, value engineering and construction. This allows us to achieve efficiencies and bring together all of the elements of development. Not all developers are vertically integrated. This integration of skill sets helps us to identify and overcome obstacles before they arise.” To develop a full scope of understanding, BCAPG reinforces the importance of communication and collaboration.
