Office, retail, restaurant, and medical tenant improvements in Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey, and Playa Vista, from a commercial contractor based minutes away in Venice.
From our base in Venice, Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey, and Playa Vista are next door. ASEP builds office, retail, restaurant, and medical tenant improvements across this part of the Westside, and we know that three neighboring areas can mean three different permitting paths.
Marina del Rey is unincorporated Los Angeles County, not the City of Los Angeles. Building permits and inspections for tenant improvements there run through LA County Building & Safety, not LADBS. Because the County owns the land in the marina and leases it to the property owners, exterior changes and signage can also involve review by the County's marina design process and the landlord. We confirm what applies before drawings are finalized.
Playa del Rey and Playa Vista are within the City of Los Angeles, so tenant improvements there go through LADBS permitting and plan check. Coastal-zone properties can carry additional review depending on the scope. Knowing which agency a space falls under, before anything is submitted, is one of the simplest ways to protect your schedule.
Salt air and moisture affect material and finish choices near the water, and marina-area sites often have tight parking and shared access. We plan deliveries, staging, and noisy work with building management so neighboring tenants keep operating.
One accountable team, clear itemized pricing, and schedules we hold to. Our work is engineering-led, and we can provide plans through our design partner or work with your architect.
