Project Overview
MEP engineering for the 3700 Wilshire project supports the adaptive reuse of an existing office building into a modern 11-story, 306-unit multifamily residential community located at 3700 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. The redevelopment includes approximately 280,000 square feet of residential dwelling area, 25,000 square feet of resident amenities, and three above-grade parking levels.
The project transforms an underutilized commercial property into a vibrant residential development, requiring a comprehensive MEP engineering approach to integrate modern building systems within the existing structure while meeting the functional needs of contemporary apartment living.
Project Scope
MEP engineering services include mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for the adaptive reuse conversion of the existing office building into a multifamily residential community. Building systems are designed to support residential units, amenity spaces, parking levels, and associated building infrastructure while integrating efficiently with the existing structural framework.
Engineering efforts focus on modernizing building systems, improving energy performance, coordinating utility infrastructure, and supporting the successful conversion of the office building into a high-density residential development.
