About the Building
The Wilshire Manning at 10660 Wilshire Boulevard went up in 1980, early in the corridor's condominium-building wave that followed the apartment-conversion era of the 1970s. Its developer and architect are not well documented in public records — a common gap for corridor towers of this generation — and the building's reputation rests instead on scale and unit size. At eighteen storeys and 132 residences it stands among the larger buildings on the corridor by unit count, positioned on the south side of the boulevard with exposures toward Century City and, on clear days, downtown.
Ownership is conventional condominium: deeded units, an undivided common-area interest, a homeowners association and CC&Rs, with ordinary mortgage financing available — worth stating plainly on a corridor that also contains a cooperative. The 1980 construction date places the tower after the January 1977 permit cutoff used by Los Angeles's mandatory non-ductile concrete retrofit ordinance, so it sits outside that program as currently drawn. As with any tower of this vintage, the reserve study and the plumbing, elevator and façade history are the documents that tell you how the building has been kept.
Plans span an unusually wide range — listing services record floor areas from roughly 1,139 to more than 5,500 square feet, in one-, two-, three- and, per some services, four-bedroom configurations. The large plans are the draw: full-width living rooms behind deep balconies, and combined units on higher floors. As in most 1980 stock, kitchens and baths divide sharply between original condition and complete renovation, and pricing follows condition. Balconies run generous by modern standards, with north-side units facing the Bel-Air hills and south-side units the city plain.
Service runs on the full corridor model: 24-hour doorman and security, concierge, valet alongside assigned self-parking with guest spaces, a heated pool and spa, sauna, fitness room, and banquet and conference rooms. One lease listing describes water, trash and basic cable as covered for occupants — a hint at what association dues fold in — though owners should verify current inclusions against the HOA budget rather than listing summaries. Staffing depth of this kind spread across 132 units is the economic logic of the building: many owners sharing one service stack.
The Manning competes on square footage per dollar among staffed corridor towers: buyers comparing it with newer buildings trade construction vintage for larger rooms and a lower basis. Turnover is steady given the unit count, and both sales and leases appear regularly, which suggests a leasing-tolerant regime — though rental rules should be confirmed in the CC&Rs. One caution flagged by listing services is a reported no-pet policy, stricter than most neighbouring buildings; pet owners should treat that as a threshold question before touring rather than a detail for escrow.
Amenities & Services
The Residences
Recorded areas run from about 1,139 square feet to more than 5,500 in combined or full-floor arrangements — one of the widest in-building ranges anywhere on the corridor.
The smaller tiers offer staffed-tower living at the building's entry level; many have been renovated, and lower-floor units trade at meaningful discounts to the view floors above them.
The Manning's reputation rests on its big plans — house-scale living rooms, formal dining, staff-room variants — that let downsizers leave a Westside house without shrinking their furniture.
North exposures face Bel-Air and Holmby Hills, south exposures Century City and the basin; higher floors clear neighbouring rooftops, and the view premium between floors is significant.
Forty-five years of ownership cycles mean some homes are freshly rebuilt with hardwood and stone while others await work; inspect systems as carefully as finishes in original-condition units.
The building stands on the corridor's south side within walking reach of Westwood Village and UCLA, with quick access to Century City — location logic that underpins its steady rental demand.
Due Diligence
Assigned garage parking with optional valet service and guest spaces is reported by listings. Space counts per unit vary; confirm the assigned stalls for any specific residence in the title and HOA records.
Listing services report that pets are not permitted at the Wilshire Manning — an outlier on the corridor. Because such rules change by board action, verify the current policy in the CC&Rs before offering.
Units appear for lease regularly, indicating rentals are permitted; specific caps, minimum terms or seasoning requirements are not publicly documented. Investors should confirm the current rental rules with management before buying.
Public sources do not fully document dues inclusions; one lease listing shows water, trash and basic cable covered for occupants. Obtain the HOA budget during escrow for the authoritative list of inclusions.
Built in 1980, the tower postdates the 1977 permit cutoff of Los Angeles's non-ductile concrete ordinance and is outside that mandatory program. Any voluntary seismic evaluation would appear in board records — ask for them.
No major assessment or system-replacement campaign is publicly documented. For a 1980 high-rise, request the reserve study, recent board minutes and any plumbing, elevator or façade reports before removing contingencies.
A 24-hour doorman, security, concierge and valet crew runs the building — a full corridor service stack whose payroll is spread across 132 units, one reason the model stays comparatively efficient here.
Renovations require association approval and building-standard contractor rules; expect elevator scheduling and working-hour limits. In original-condition units, budget for the electrical and plumbing updates inspectors commonly flag in buildings of this era.
