At the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Western Avenue in Hollywood, wood framing is now on the rise for a large mixed-use complex American Commercial Equities.

The project, now taking shape on what was once a Food4Less-anchored shopping center at 5420 Sunset Boulevard, will eventually feature 735 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments atop 95,000 square feet of commercial space, and parking for 1,400 retail space.

According to plans, the ground-floor commercial space would consist of a mix of general retail and a market to replace the lost Food4Less. The total commercial square footage is roughly equivalent to the footprint of the buildings which were replaced.

TCA Architects is the complex, which would stand six stories in height and feature a stucco exterior. Plans show a T-shaped paseo, at street level, connecting Western, Sunset, and Serrano Avenue, as well as a series of courtyards and amenities at the center of the complex.

An environmental study conducted for the project estimated that construction would occur over approximately 48 months, with completion anticipated in 2026.

The project is the third large development aiming to remake the intersection of Sunset and Western, following a new Target built on the opposite side of the street. At the northwest corner of the intersection, Reliable Properties is poised to replace another retail center with housing and retail, while The Georgetown Co. recently acquired a Netflix-leased development site to the south.
