Woodland Hills Affordable Senior Housing Proposal Would Add 3,192 Units at Warner Center

A proposed affordable senior housing and assisted-living development at 6400 Canoga Avenue in Woodland Hills could add 3,192 units to Warner Center, but the project remains in the planning process and is not approved.

Known as Viva L.A. at Warner Center, the proposal was publicly unveiled on July 15, 2026. The Los Angeles mayor’s office described it as a nearly 3,200-unit, 100% affordable senior housing project with an assisted-living component and roughly 2 million square feet of space.

What the developer is proposing

Project materials from Wellpointe describe a four-phase development with four high-rise towers, approximately 2.2 million square feet and an estimated $2 billion investment. The developer identifies the project as a 3,192-unit senior housing community at the Warner Center site.

Those figures describe the proposal, not a final city-approved plan. They also do not establish when units might become available, whether construction will begin, or what services, parking and operating arrangements would ultimately be provided.

The planning case is on hold

Los Angeles City Planning records show that the related entitlement case was filed on May 7, 2026. The case describes a four-phase, 100% affordable assisted-living project in Woodland Hills, but the record is currently marked “on hold.” The planning file shows no approved documents or final action.

That status is important for residents and nearby businesses. The July 15 unveiling made the project timely news, and independent reporting on July 21 placed it in the entitlement stage. But the development has not been approved, started or given a confirmed completion date in the available records.

Why the proposal matters locally

If it advances, the project could materially increase the supply of affordable senior housing and assisted-living capacity in Woodland Hills. Its announced scale could also bring future questions about transportation, parking, construction activity, public services and the Warner Center skyline.

Those effects cannot yet be quantified from the current planning record. Specific traffic, parking, infrastructure and environmental conclusions would require formal studies and city review. The project’s final design and operational details may also change as the entitlement process proceeds.

What residents should watch next

Future Los Angeles City Planning filings, hearing notices, environmental documents, transportation analysis and formal approvals will show whether Viva L.A. moves beyond its current on-hold status. Until then, the project is best understood as a large proposed development—not a construction project or a guaranteed addition to Warner Center.
