Legacy Partners, DWS Launch Construction on Torrance Apartments

Legacy Partners, a privately held national real estate firm, partnered with DWS Group, a leading global asset manager, to announce the start of construction for Soto, a 200-unit apartment community in Torrance. It represents the fourth project on which Legacy and DWS have teamed.

Located at 3863 Carson St. adjacent to Del Amo Fashion Center, the five-story community’s exterior design was inspired by the classic mid-century office buildings that are part of the surrounding mixed-use campus. Construction is anticipated to be completed in summer 2027, with Westport Construction serving as the general contractor.

“Soto’s elevated design showcases the quintessential Southern California lifestyle and offers residents views of the Pacific Ocean and proximity to the best beaches in the South Bay,” said Tim O’Brien, senior managing director for Southern California and the Southwest region at Legacy. “Soto will also sit adjacent to restaurants and retail amenities, including the newly renovated Del Amo Fashion Center, which attracts 20 million visitors per year.”
