Racing to the market – two new multifamily developments on the site of the Hollywood Park Racetrack
In 2023 and 2024, Waypoint was off to the races in SoCal with two new residential projects within the Hollywood Park redevelopment. The master plan includes restaurants, retail, residential, office, hotels and SoFi Stadium, all set within the boundaries of the former Hollywood Park Racetrack in the Inglewood area of greater Los Angeles. Developer Wilson Meany brought two new communities to the market, each with its own personality. The Wesley includes 101 flats and townhomes, designed in a “cinematically retro” style and representing the convergence of design, art and history. The Crosby includes 213 apartments and is a mid-century modern enclave, inspired by the glamorous history of the former racetrack. Waypoint provided design, fabrication and installation services for the wayfinding (inclusive of code and ADA signage), as well as the exterior signage for the project. Signage design for The Crosby was deliberately simple, allowing the interior design of the building to shine, whereas The Wesley leveraged simple design with a hand painted look, harkening back to the 1950s. Hart Howerton & TCA Architects provided architectural services for both projects.
