An existing 3-story building housing retail, apartments and a movie theater has been re-imagined as a commercial property with thirty-two refurbished rent-controlled apartments on the corner of Arizona Avenue and the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica.

Joining the retail portion of the ground floor to the former theater portion at the rear creates two retail spaces fronting the promenade with loading and ancillary spaces along the rear alley.  The existing sub-grade theaters will be demolished and expanded providing basement storage for the retail tenant above.

An open air second floor terrace adjoining Arizona Avenue and atriums centered mid-floor at the second and third level offices will furnish light and vision for the new office tenants.
