The surface parking lot surrounding a medical office building in Baldwin Hills is up for redevelopment with affordable housing, per an application recently submitted to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.
The proposed development from Farzad Amid of Crenshaw Medical Group, LP would rise from a U-shaped site located at 3756 W. Santa Rosalia Drive, across the street from the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza mall. The proposed development, which would make use of the Mayor's Executive Directive 1, calls for redeveloping the parking lot which surrounds the building with a new five-story structure containing 270 studio and one-bedroom apartments without on-site parking.
As a fully affordable housing complex, slated to serve low- and moderate-income renters, the building would be eligible for density bonus incentives permitting waivers from certain zoning rules.

Metropolis Architecture is designing the apartment complex, which is shown in plans as a contemporary low-rise edifice.
The proposed development follows plans from Harridge Development Group to add new housing and commercial uses to the nearby mall property. The first phase of that project would be a 636-unit apartment complex a few blocks north at 4005 Crenshaw Boulevard.
Another large commercial development is planned to the north at the former Marlton Square site along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, where Hudson Pacific Properties has proposed offices, a grocery store, and other uses.
