Crest Real Estate Highlights Emerging Small‑Lot Housing in Silver Lake’s 2772 Rowena Ave. Development
Crest Real Estate, Los Angeles’ premier entitlement and permitting advisory firm, celebrates the rise of a new multi‑home small‑lot residential project located at 2772 Rowena Avenue in the dynamic Silver Lake neighborhood. The development, which is now taking shape after years of planning and permitting work, exemplifies the evolving landscape of urban infill housing in Los Angeles.
The project features five small‑lot single‑family homes, each rising three stories and designed to accommodate contemporary living in one of Los Angeles’ most sought‑after neighborhoods. Each home includes three bedrooms, a ground‑level two‑car garage, and a private rooftop amenity deck—offering both functional design and elevated outdoor space for residents.
Designed by Tracy A. Stone, the homes are clad in a mix of stucco and fiber cement panels that align with Silver Lake’s eclectic architectural vernacular. This material palette provides both visual coherence and long‑term durability, enhancing the project’s contribution to the local housing stock.
Across the street, construction continues on a mixed‑use apartment building, signaling a broader pattern of residential growth and reinvestment in the Silver Lake community.
A Testament to Strategic Permitting and Collaboration
Crest Real Estate played a vital role in coordinating and expediting the permitting process for the 2772 Rowena Ave. small‑lot subdivision project, navigating complex municipal review processes to keep the development on track and aligned with City of Los Angeles regulations. The firm’s involvement helped move the project efficiently from concept through entitlement to early construction.
“As Los Angeles grows and evolves, creative housing models like small‑lot subdivisions are part of the solution,” said Jason Somers, President of Crest Real Estate. “Our work on 2772 Rowena Avenue demonstrates how thoughtful permitting strategies and proactive coordination can help bring high‑quality infill housing to life in established communities.”
Innovative Urban Living in Silver Lake
The 2772 Rowena Ave. project represents a broader trend toward small‑lot residential development—a strategy that maximizes underutilized land and increases single‑family housing options without relying on large‑scale multifamily construction. By breaking a single parcel into multiple independently platted homes, the project supports diverse housing options while preserving neighborhood scale and context.
Each residence’s layout optimizes vertical space with living areas positioned above garage levels and private rooftop decks that take advantage of Los Angeles’ mild climate and city views. The project’s design also reflects current strategies for flexible, efficient urban housing that meets modern lifestyle and market demands.
