Las Lomas presents a unique opportunity to create a 21st century urban village on a 550-acre site. Our vision is to create a smart growth, transit-oriented community, with a multi-modal approach to transportation. Las Lomas was designed for, and will be created with, a visionary approach to help meet Los Angeles’ current and future needs for housing, jobs and tax revenue.

In the coming months, the Las Lomas community will evolve further, based on recommendations and input from Los Angeles’ elected officials, various city departments, the community at large and technical consultants.

Key elements of Las Lomas, as currently proposed, are:

• Creation of a “complete community:” Las Lomas will function as a jobs-housing balanced corporate campus, with 5,550 homes, 15 percent of which will be workforce housing, and 2.3 million square feet of job-generating corporate space. Las Lomas will have its own police and fire station, neighborhood-serving retail, an on-site school, library, a grocery store, playing fields and parks.
• Preservation of open space: Of the project’s 550 acres, more than half -- 300 acres -- will be dedicated to parks, trails, recreation and open space.
• Utilization of “green” building practices: Designed as an environmentally friendly community, Las Lomas will utilize recycled water, solar energy and green building materials. It will also have an on-site wastewater treatment plant to minimize uses of potable water.
• Creation of on-site educational and cultural amenities: The Las Lomas community will have a K-8 charter school and recreational fields, a new library and a civic center open to the general public as well as Las Lomas residents and employees.
• Mitigation of the region’s ever-increasing traffic problem: Las Lomas will utilize an internal community trolley and provide external links via train, bus and car to the rest of the region. The project has proposed a developer-funded $150 million traffic mitigation plan that strives to minimize the project’s traffic impact.
