Six homes on Baird Avenue in Reseda could be replaced by a six-story apartment building with 75 residences. The proposal at 7034–7046 N. Baird Avenue, one block off Reseda Boulevard near Sherman Way, would include 12 apartments reserved for very low-income households.

A courtyard building on Baird Avenue

The plans would bring a substantial change in scale to this stretch of Baird. JZA Architecture's design arranges the building around an open central courtyard, creating an O-shaped footprint, with an additional outdoor amenity deck on the roof. The apartments would sit above a semi-subterranean garage, meaning the parking level would be partly below ground.

The proposed mix includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Replacing six existing homes with 75 apartments would add 69 homes to the site if built as described.

Twelve affordable apartments within the proposal

The applicant is seeking density bonus incentives that would allow a larger building than the site's zoning would otherwise permit. Twelve apartments would be reserved for very low-income renters. Those homes are included within the 75-unit total.

The city's case summary identifies the applicant as Efi Meirson of Casa Moderna LLC and describes a density bonus project seeking expanded administrative review.

Near Sherman Way and the Reseda Theatre

The Baird Avenue site is a short walk from Reseda Boulevard and Sherman Way, near the Reseda Theatre and the former Walgreens property proposed for a much larger apartment development.

This blog covered the 290-apartment proposal for the former Walgreens site on Sherman Way in June. The Baird filing adds another housing proposal within the same part of Reseda, this time on a residential street just off the main boulevard.

Where the filing stands

City Planning records show that case EAR-2026-4534-DB-VHCA was filed on September 1, 2026. When checked on September 11, the public summary listed the case as “On Hold,” with no hearing or action date shown. The summary did not explain the hold.

For now, the project remains a proposal. A construction start or completion date has not been confirmed.
