Heavy equipment is now rolling at 17100 Victory Boulevard in Lake Balboa, where crews have started building a 194-unit affordable housing complex that will come in as two five-story buildings along the G Line bike path. The project is set to blend permanent supportive housing with family apartments at the edge of the Sepulveda Basin, shifting a formerly quiet stretch into a dense residential hub.
According to Linc Housing, construction kicked off in December 2025, and the nonprofit expects to welcome residents in late 2027 or early 2028. The project description highlights on-site case management along with courtyards and shared spaces designed for adults, teens, and children.
Units and affordability
The development will deliver 194 homes: 48 units set aside for households with prior experience of homelessness and 144 units reserved for families earning between 30 and 80 percent of the area median income, plus two market-rate manager units, as reported by Urbanize LA. Floor plans will range from studios to three-bedroom apartments to serve a mix of individuals and larger households.
Financing and approvals
The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles Board of Commissioners approved the issuance of up to $78.7 million in bond financing for the project, a key funding step detailed by The Real Deal in March 2025. That vote followed city approvals completed in 2023 and cleared the way for the developer to move from entitlement into full-scale construction.
Design, amenities and access
City records list VTBS Architects as the design architect and MJS Landscape Architecture as the landscape architect, with a plan that layers rooftop decks, shared courtyards, and offices for supportive services into the two-building complex. The project will also include about 1,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space next to the bike path and roughly 88 parking spaces, according to LA YIMBY.
Site and transit context
The site backs onto the western edge of the Sepulveda Basin and sits directly beside the G Line Busway bike trail, which will put future residents within a short walk of both large open spaces and bus rapid transit. Metro upgrades planned for the G Line and a master planning effort for the Sepulveda Basin give the address extra weight for transit and recreation access, as Urbanize LA has noted.
Next steps and timeline
With ground now disturbed, the project’s next visible chapters are expected to include modular assembly and enclosure work through 2026, followed by interior buildout and finishes in 2027, ahead of the projected lease-up period in late 2027 or early 2028, in line with the developer’s published schedule. Linc and its partner agencies are slated to manage referrals and supportive-services onboarding once the units open, while neighbors, transit advocates and planners keep an eye on how the new buildings affect traffic, parking and nearby public spaces as construction unfolds.
