Architectural plans uploaded by the East Hollywood Neighborhood Council offer a first look at a proposed multifamily residential development from ROM Investments near Hollywood/Western Station.

The project, slated for a property at 5416-5430 W. Carlton Way, calls for the construction of a new eight-story building featuring 131 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments above subterranean parking for 148 vehicles. Plans also call for retaining an existing two-story building with eight homes, resulting in 139 total apartments on the property.

Requested approvals include density bonus incentives to allow a larger project than would normally be permitted by-right. In exchange, 17 of the new apartments are to be set aside as low - and very low-income affordable housing.

While plans were not uploaded to the project's case file, findings described the building as having an "attractive design effect with an unbroken roof line without the use of gables, dormers, plant-ons, cutouts or other means."

The plans reveal Steinberg Hart as the architect attached to the contemporary mid-rise development, which would include a central courtyard and a pool deck.

According to an information sheet included with the Neighborhood Council documents, tenants displaced from the project have a right of return and are to be offered financial assistance. Construction is tentatively expected to begin in late 2025, with completion expected in 2027.

Other recent projects near Hollywood/Western Station include a ground-up nine-story building on Western Avenue and the adaptive reuse of the historic Hollywood Western Building. Both of those projects are fully affordable housing.
