An open-air storage lot at the 6401 S. Broadway in Florence is among the latest sites slated for redevelopment with affordable housing via the Mayor's Executive Directive 1.
The proposed project, slated for a site at the southwest corner of 64th Street and Broadway, calls for the construction of a new four-story building featuring 50 apartments, all of which would be affordable housing save for a market-rate manager's unit.

According to the entitlement filing, the apartments would be split between very low- and low-income affordable housing.
MGDS Design Studio is designing 6401 Broadway, which is depicted in renderings as a contemporary low-rise structure clad in white, grey, and black stucco.
City records list the property owner as 6401 Broadway, LLC, an entity linked to Lux Builders Group, Inc.

While Mayor Karen Bass has recently touted Executive Directive 1 as a success, noting that projects totaling more than 7,000 units of affordable and supportive housing have used its streamlining provisions thus far, it has recently been faced with a new legal threat. Fix the City, an organization which frequently opposes land use policies and projects within the City of Los Angeles, recently filed a lawsuit which contends that the Mayor's emergency declaration regarding homelessness is illegal.
