The Metro Joint Development website has revealed four proposals submitted to Metro for the development of affordable housing on properties surrounding the E Line's 17th Street/SMC Station in Santa Monica.

The Metro station site, which are among 20 housing opportunity sites outlined by Metro staff, occupy the south side of Colorado Avenue to either site of its intersection with 17th Street. Much of the land currently serves as a park-and-ride lot for the adjacent station, and a total of 182,000 square feet of land is available. Pending selection of a developer, Metro expects that work could begin as early as 2027.
