The project has received planning approvals and building permits and is under construction. 

Project Overview

In 2008, the City approved the La Paz Ranch 0.20 Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Development Agreement project for construction of 112,058 square feet of commercial office and retail uses, and a 20,000 square foot City Hall complex. The 0.20 FAR project provided the developer with an additional 12,941 square feet of commercial square footage, and allocated 20,000 square feet to the City of Malibu for a future City Hall complex or other municipal use to be determined by the City.
