SEAL BEACH, CA. – The Olson Company, the leading developer of in-town urban living, announces plans for two new residential communities in the Los Angeles area. Closing on two plots in the areas of Westchester and El Segundo for the planned communities of “Gateway Walk” and “Pacific Walk“, Olson plans to complete construction by 2012.
Olson Homes plans to create a 14 unit single family detached residential community in Westchester, with homes between 1,800 and 1,821 sq. ft., featuring 3 bedrooms with additional loft space, 2.5 baths, and 2 car garages. The new El Segundo community will consist of 12 attached townhomes, ranging in size from 1,597 to 1,622 sq. ft., with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2 car side-by-side or tandem garages.
Expected to be completed in 2012, both new home communities will offer desirable commutes to the nearby employment centers in the South Bay – including Los Angeles, Hawthorn, Manhattan Beach, and Marina Del Rey, as well as close proximity to the nearby beaches, and many retail, dining and entertainment options. With simultaneous construction, potential home owners interested in the South Bay will have the choice of townhome or single family detached living.
The homes, built to exceed LEED green living standards, will include energy efficient amenities including Energy Star appliances; water efficient and lead-free faucets; highly water efficient toilets; auto shut-off motion sensors in all baths, space saving tank-less water heaters, and built-in recycle bins, among many other features.
“Olson Homes looks forward to building competitively priced homes in the Westchester and El Segundo communities, our fourth and fifth communities in the South Bay area,” said Steve Olson, Chairman/CEO of The Olson Company. “The new communities will create jobs and fill a need for affordable housing in the area, as well as further underscore our commitment to building in ‘walkable’ areas.”
The Olson Company’s numerous successful urban living developments across Southern California over the last 22 years reflect its commitment to the homebuyer as top priority. With its notable homeowner satisfaction, The Olson Company has garnered prestigious Eliant Awards in six categories in 2010, including a number one ranking for the “Design Selection” experience, and second for delivering an incredible experience during the Purchase, Construction, and Customer Service phases, and ranked second for “Overall Quality” and “Sales from Referrals.” The Olson Company believes in “livability,” and implements a thoughtful and detail-oriented approach from concept through execution. As part of their unique approach to providing these communities, The Olson Company understands all that goes into buying a new home and provides tailored services to support the needs of homebuyers, such as financial education and continued support services.

PARAMOUNT, CA. June 2, 2011—When the City of Paramount purchased and demolished a number of rundown and blighted properties across Orange Ave. from Zamboni School, it went looking for a partner to develop a quality neighborhood of single-family, detached homes on the cleared site.
It was very important to the City that the houses be constructed with the highest quality and best craftsmanship, but also be affordable enough to keep the dream of homeownership within reach of the community’s particular demographics.
Paramount found its ideal collaborator in Olson Homes, a local developer that has specialized in creating innovative and affordable in-town communities in established neighborhoods for over 20 years. The company – recipient of America’s “Builder of the Year” Award – is creating Heritage Walk, the first development of its size and scope in Paramount since the mid-1990s.
“Our company was founded specifically to assist cities in solving the critical shortage of affordable housing in urban areas,” said Scott Laurie, Olson Homes’ President and COO. “Working with the officials in Paramount has been extremely smooth and productive. Everybody has been on the same page from day one, wanting to improve the housing stock with a superior project. It’s very exciting, and Heritage Walk will be a jewel for that part of the city.”
The grand opening for the model home at was held May 14. Not only did hundreds of community members come out to take a tour and enjoy the festive Country Fair theme with food, games and other fun events, but four of the soon-to-be-built homes were sold on the spot.
“The City of Paramount has done a tremendous amount of work and planning over the years to highlight its finest qualities, qualities that are the
epitome of small-town America,” noted Vice President of Forward Planning Allison Kunz Olson. “Heritage Walk, with its 17 homes and tree-lined streets, echoes this feeling and will appeal to a variety of lifestyles and families seeking the right mix of extra space and privacy.”
The homes will be LEED Certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, an internationally-recognized “green” building certification system). With Spanish-styled architecture, they will offer 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, attached 2-car garages, private rear yards and 1,302 square feet of living space.
“Olson Homes’ uniquely designed communities have been a bright spot in the housing market over the last few years,” said Joe Perez, Community Development Director with the City. “The idea of helping cities revitalize themselves with creativity and thoughtful solutions, while making home ownership attainable for a wide number of people, has led to our projects being very successful. Heritage Walk in Paramount is a perfect realization of this goal.
“Everyone in the community is encouraged to visit the site,” Perez continued. “As we like to say, Heritage Walk is where life is ‘paramount.’
And everyone is welcome.”
