Overview

  • The L.A. Department of Building and Safety issued a certificate of occupancy Friday for the first completed ground‑up rebuild after the Palisades fire.
  • Built by Thomas James Homes at 915 Kagawa St., the project followed roughly two months of permitting and about six months of construction.
  • The 4,000‑square‑foot house replaces a 1,600‑square‑foot ranch and incorporates closed eaves and plumbing for an optional exterior fire‑defense system.
  • City figures show more than 340 projects under construction in Pacific Palisades, while dashboards report nearly 2,000 permits across the Palisades and Eaton zones and 2,376 applications in Los Angeles.
  • A public grand opening of the showcase home is scheduled for Dec. 6, days after an Altadena accessory dwelling unit also received a certificate of occupancy.
