New Mixed Use Development to be Built at the Corner of Nordhoff and Darby Avenue

Among the new projects coming to the Reseda Great Street Corridor is a one at the corner of Nordhoff and Darby Avenue, directly across from the Northridge Public Library. The development will be adjacent to CSUN west side parking lots, theater and music buildings and the Valley Performing Arts Center.

The project consists of a new 5-story mixed-use complex, comprised of approximately 156,016 square feet of floor area consisting of 146 residential apartment units with 129 market rate and 17 affordable units. The development also includes 2,000 square feet of ground floor retail with space for two small café or coffee shop footprints of approximately 1,000 square feet each, with room for outdoor dining.

The project also includes 222 automobile parking spaces (213 residential and 9 commercial) provided on the ground floor and one level of subterranean parking. There are also 169 bicycle parking spaces (161 residential and 8 commercial) for nearby commuters such as faculty, students or staff at CSUN living in the development.

The project is seeking final planning approvals, and has been vetted by the three local neighborhood councils, as well as the Northridge Vision Group. Ongoing details concerning this development will be shared in future editions of the Community Connection.

Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study Made Available to the Public

Metro’s long-awaited Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study was made available to community members at the end of September. The study was based on community input taken last spring at a community meeting, as well as through email and online comments.
