700 Broadway is one of the newest luxury rentals in Santa Monica, a mixed-use complex at Broadway and Seventh Street in the eastern part of downtown. Related California developed it, and it opened for leasing in 2025. The project has 280 apartments, including 84 affordable homes, above a new Vons grocery store and an Equinox gym, according to published reports.

The architecture uses curved, tiered forms meant to suggest coastal motion, and the building advertises about 67,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities. In October 2026 advertised rents ran from $4,500 for a studio to $13,430 for a three-bedroom.

Location and neighborhood

The address is about a ten-minute walk from the Third Street Promenade and roughly fifteen minutes from the beach and pier. The Metro E Line’s 17th Street/SMC station and Downtown Santa Monica station are both reachable on foot or by bike. Having a supermarket and a gym in the building is a real convenience.

The official Related website did not list unit prices on the page we loaded on October 28, 2026. The listing data noted a special of up to ten weeks of free rent on select floor plans plus four months of complimentary Equinox membership, so the effective rent on some homes could be well below the asking figures above.

How it compares with other LA luxury rentals

We reviewed advertised rents at 25 of the priciest rental communities in Los Angeles County on October 28, 2026. Ranked by the highest monthly asking rent, 700 Broadway came in at number 14. For context, here is what several other high-end buildings were asking on the same day (same source):

• Ten Thousand (Century City): $13,600 – $27,000 a month
• Olympic + Hill (Downtown LA (South Park)): $2,499 – $24,434 a month
• Circa LA (Downtown LA (South Park)): $2,653 – $23,216 a month
• THEA at Metropolis (Downtown LA): $2,786 – $22,514 a month

• Vision on Wilshire (Miracle Mile): $4,499 – $18,699 a month

Keep in mind that the top of each range is usually driven by one or two penthouse or oversized units, so the starting rent and the mix of unit sizes often say more about a building than its single most expensive listing. Linked names go to our full profile of that building.

Touring tips

• Ask which specific units are available and on which floors; view and floor height can move the rent by thousands of dollars in the same floor plan.
• Request the full monthly cost in writing, including parking, pet rent, storage, utilities and any amenity or service fees.
• Ask whether advertised specials are applied as free weeks up front or spread across the lease, and how that affects renewal pricing.
• Visit at rush hour and in the evening to judge traffic, noise and how easy it is to get in and out of the garage.
• Read the lease terms for minimum length, early termination and renewal caps before you put down a deposit.

Who it suits

700 Broadway suits renters who want new construction close to the beach, people who value having groceries and a gym downstairs, and Westside professionals who want to walk or bike to downtown Santa Monica.

Can you afford it?

A common rule of thumb is to keep rent near 30% of gross income, which means a $4,500 apartment calls for roughly $180,000 a year in household income, and the top-end unit far more. Many luxury buildings also ask for income of two and a half to three times the rent.
