20 apartments proposed at 1954 N. Argyle Ave. in Hollywood

A five-unit apartment building in Hollywood completed more than one century ago is slated to give way to a larger apartment building, per a new application to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The proposed project from applicant Benny Pirian of Jack 26 Properties, LLC, slated for a property at 1954 N. Argyle Avenue, calls for the construction of a five-story building featuring 20 one- and two-bedroom apartments atop parking for 21 vehicles.

Requested entitlements include Transit Oriented Communities development incentives, thereby permitting a larger building on the site than zoning rules would otherwise allow. In exchange, two of the apartments would be set aside for rent by extremely low-income households.

Maly Architects is designing the project, which is depicted in a rendering as a contemporary podium-type building.

Pirian, in addition to his new project on Argyle Avenue, is also attached to the proposed redevelopment of a car wash with a checkered history at Hollywood Boulevard and Vermont Avenue with a larger mixed-use apartment complex.
