The VA has signaled a major shift in strategy for overhauling its sprawling West L.A. campus that could rev up the pace of building over a thousand units of veteran housing.
The agency is looking for a ‘Principal Developer’ to oversee the renovation and construction of hundreds of housing units on the North side of its 388-acre grounds located between Westwood and Brentwood.
The search was announced in a notice for public hearing released Friday.
The first renovation project named in the announcement is the 51,000 square foot Building 207, which formerly housed a Salvation Army program offering short-term transitional housing for veterans with mental health conditions. The VA terminated the lease last year, citing concerns with the program’s level of care.
