According to a listing on the Los Angeles affordable housing registry, the apartments are all reserved for households earning no more than 30 percent of the area median income level.

KFA Architecture designed the Ambrose, which has a contemporary look and an exterior of plaster and fiber cement panels. The building also includes amenities such as community rooms, a central courtyard, and a rooftop deck.
