About the Building
The Venezia at 10795 Wilshire Boulevard was completed in 2001, one of the few corridor buildings to arrive after the 1980s boom and before the 2018 opening of the Liddel nearby. Its developer and architect are not credited in readily available public records; the building is instead known by its design language — an Italian-villa vocabulary of arches, columns and balconies that brokerage material links to the Riviera. At a fraction of the scale of the towers around it, the Venezia introduced a boutique mid-rise format to a boulevard otherwise defined by high-rises.
The structure rises six storeys — some listing services count seven, taking in the penthouse level — and contains roughly twenty-five condominiums, among the smallest unit counts on the corridor. Ownership is standard condominium: deeded title, homeowners association, CC&Rs and conventional financing. Small buildings concentrate governance: each owner carries around four percent of the budget, board seats rotate through a short bench, and a single major repair moves dues more than it would in a tower of 150 homes. Reading several years of minutes and the reserve study matters proportionally more here.
Residences are two- and three-bedroom plans recorded from about 1,717 to 3,684 square feet — large by mid-rise standards, closer to the corridor's tower stock than to a typical Westside six-storey building. Interiors follow the building's European brief: arched openings, coffered ceilings and mouldings in many homes, with granite kitchens, Italian cabinetry and hardwood commonly noted in listings. Several plans include dens or libraries with fireplaces, and primary suites with private balconies. With roughly four homes per floor, most residences get corner or dual-aspect light rather than single-exposure layouts.
For twenty-five units the service package is unusually complete: listings describe 24-hour door staff or security, concierge, gated valet and assigned subterranean parking with guest spaces, a fitness room, sauna, banquet room with kitchen, storage, and a rooftop sundeck with barbecue and cabana. Listing services report pets permitted subject to association rules. Utilities such as electricity, cable and internet are described as owner-paid; the full dues inclusion list is not publicly documented and should be confirmed against the association budget in escrow rather than assumed from listing summaries.
The Venezia's market position is the in-between choice: newer than the 1960s-to-1980s towers, far smaller and more intimate, with tower-scale square footage but without the ballroom-and-switchboard service economy of the big buildings. It suits buyers who want staffed security and valet without living among hundreds of neighbours. Inventory is scarce — with twenty-five homes, a year can pass between listings — so in-building pricing references are thin and buyers should underwrite from corridor-wide comparables. Its 2001 construction also postdates every mandatory seismic retrofit category currently on the city's books.
Amenities & Services
The Residences
The building's entry tier still runs to house-scale rooms — around 1,700 to 1,900 square feet with two-and-a-half or three baths, formal dining and balconies in most stacks.
The largest recorded plans approach 3,700 square feet, competitive with tower penthouses on the corridor, spread across a small floorplate shared with only a few neighbouring residences.
Arched openings, columns, coffered ceilings and mouldings define the building's brief; listings commonly note granite kitchens, Italian cabinetry and hardwood floors, with condition varying by owner cycle since 2001.
Several plans include a den or library with fireplace off the living room — flexible space that converts to a home office or guest room without sacrificing a true bedroom.
The shared roof deck carries lounge seating, a cabana and barbecue with open outlooks over the corridor — the building's principal outdoor amenity in place of tower gardens.
With roughly four residences per storey, elevators open near your door, corner light is the norm, and the lobby operates at a boutique-hotel register rather than a tower's.
Due Diligence
Gated subterranean parking with assigned spaces, valet service and guest parking is described across listings. Space counts per residence vary by plan; confirm the assignments in the title documents before closing.
Listing services report pets are permitted subject to association rules. Size and count limits are not publicly documented — obtain the current pet rule from management before committing to a purchase.
Units have been offered for both sale and lease over the years, suggesting rentals are allowed; caps, minimum terms and any seasoning requirements are not publicly documented. Verify directly with the HOA.
Listings indicate owners pay their own electricity, cable and internet, implying dues cover staffing, amenities, water and common insurance, but no authoritative inclusion list is published. Review the budget in escrow.
Completed in 2001 under modern code, the building postdates the 1977 cutoff for the city's non-ductile concrete ordinance and faces no mandatory retrofit program currently on the books. Standard inspections still apply.
No special assessments or major projects are publicly documented. In a twenty-five-unit building any roof, elevator or waterproofing project lands heavily per owner, so scrutinise reserves and board minutes closely.
Listings describe 24-hour door or security staff, concierge and valet — an uncommonly full crew for a building this size, and necessarily a large share of what monthly dues fund.
Alterations run through association approval; with few units and shared quiet, expect defined work hours and elevator-protection rules. Confirm the process and any architectural guidelines with the board before scoping work.
Everything above is drawn from public records, city permit data and published sources. The association’s statutory disclosure package is the only authoritative answer on dues, rules, reserves, insurance and litigation — Ben will request it and read it with you before you remove contingencies.
