The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve building permits for several redevelopment projects in Marina del Rey.
Legacy Partners Neptune Marina, the developer, will demolish an apartment building on Via Marina and Marquesas Way and build three new condominium buildings. Additionally, Neptune will develop a 114-unit residential facility for seniors in an adjacent parking lot, and a 1.46 acre wetland park with a pedestrian pathway.
Two of the new buildings will be 55 feet high and the other will measure 60 feet – or four stories with two levels of subterranean garage parking, providing 909 parking spaces.

, the board approved the redevelopment project amid a backlash from dozens of speakers against the project, who believed rampant development over the last two decade has favored commercial builders at the expense of the environment and quality of life for marina residents.
The new housing project is expected to generate more traffic – about 85 more cars in the area around rush hour, and the developer will pay the county about $483,000 to offset congestion.
