Milender White (MW) delivered 1430 Lincoln in spring 2026 for Tishman Speyer, a global real estate developer. This mixed-use Santa Monica project, with a design inspired by the Bauhaus school of the early 20th century, combines high-end apartments with engaging shops and cafes.
Studio T-Square 2’s design for this community features a large central plaza – a public amenity with ground-floor retail. Tenants can look out over this central plaza from a roof deck with many features, and the design makes a clear distinction between the apartments (brick material) and balcony/circulation zones (wood screens).
The five-story building contains 97 units: 12 studios, 49 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms, 16 three-bedrooms and three two-bedroom townhomes. Construction is Type III over Type I (wood frame on concrete podium). A subterranean garage has space for 295 cars and 180 bicycles.
This mid-rise building on a 1.5-acre parcel pleasantly contrasts with taller, denser apartment communities found to the south and west in Santa Monica and offers a village-like setting with shops and services steps from the front doors of the apartments.
