Warner Center’s skyline could be in for a major shakeup, with assisted-living operator Wellpointe filing plans for a four-phase, 100% affordable senior-living complex at 6400 Canoga Ave. The proposal calls for four towers between 34 and 42 stories, totaling roughly 3,458 residential units, including about 3,192 units for seniors and 266 units for on-site staff. The plan also outlines about 2.2 million square feet of total floor area, 61,450 square feet of non-residential uses, and parking for 823 vehicles. If it gets built as proposed, the complex would rank among the largest senior-housing projects ever submitted in the San Fernando Valley.
Proposal Details and Scale
The submitted plans describe a vertical mini-city tailored for older Angelenos. The complex would span four towers, from a 42-story, 467-foot high-rise down to a 34-story, 377-foot building, with a total of 3,458 apartments. Support services and community-oriented spaces are folded into the roughly 61,450 square feet of non-residential floor area, all within a footprint of about 2.2 million square feet overall. Those figures appear in the project listing on Urbanize LA, which tracks major developments citywide.
Site Purchase and Prior Plans
The development site itself is a 4.7-acre parcel that changed hands in mid-December 2025, with commercial real estate reporting pegging the sale price at roughly $25.5 million. Traded reported the transaction, noting the scale of the deal for Warner Center.
Before Wellpointe entered the picture, the lot had been associated with a Sandstone Properties concept for a market-rate high-rise and hotel. That earlier plan now appears to have been pushed aside in favor of the senior-focused proposal, according to coverage in The Real Deal.
Developer's Pitch
Wellpointe is framing the project as a direct response to Los Angeles’ shortage of affordable senior housing. The company has said the Warner Center acquisition supports “access to high-density, quality housing and social infrastructure” in line with the district’s evolution. CEO George Kutnerian made that case in a company announcement on the deal, presented as part of the firm’s broader strategy for aging Angelenos. The release was distributed through PRWeb.
Where It Fits in Warner Center's Transformation
The proposal lands in the middle of Warner Center’s ongoing reinvention under the Warner Center 2035 Specific Plan, which aims to recast the area as a dense, transit-oriented, mixed-use hub. The policy framework has already helped spur a series of large master plans and towers, reshaping expectations for what “downtown Woodland Hills” can look like. The Los Angeles Times has chronicled that shift, including coverage of the Kroenke Organization’s Rams Village concept and similar high-intensity projects.
The senior complex would join a growing roster of fully affordable developments in the district. City planning records show a December 2025 approval for a 316-unit affordable building at 21155 W. Califa Street, listed in materials from Los Angeles City Planning.
What Comes Next
The Wellpointe-affiliated team has submitted an entitlement package, which now heads into the standard gauntlet of administrative review, environmental study, and community outreach before any shovels hit the ground. Urbanize LA reported the filing and noted that Wellpointe expects to share more detailed design and phasing information as the case moves through the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.
In the meantime, expect a steady stream of public notices, traffic and services analyses, and neighborhood meetings as officials and residents sort through the implications of stacking thousands of senior-living units into a tight Warner Center block. Given the project’s size and height, debates over infrastructure, transit access, and how the Valley houses its aging population are all but guaranteed. We will track the planning process and community response and report back as substantive updates emerge.
