"Los Angeles needs all of us, from government to nonprofit and the private sectors, working together to urgently confront our homelessness crisis by building more housing and providing lifesaving services,” said Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in a news release. “I want to thank Related and Weingart for their ongoing commitment to building more permanent supportive housing so that people who come inside from tents and encampments can move into homes and communities where they can live healthy, full lives.”
The tower also includes on-site amenities for residents such as a pet relief area, a community garden, a career center, a library, a fitness area, and on-site laundry facilities. The apartments, all studios, are fully furnished with appliances, furniture, and air conditioning. Other components of the development include 2,800 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a standalone 212-car parking structure.

The project is the second Weingart Center towers to rise at the intersection of 6th and San Pedro, following a 19-story tower completed last year next to the organization's headquarters. A third building - a smaller 12-story structure with more than 100 supportive housing units - is also planned.
Weingart and Related are also developing a second project farther west in Downtown. The proposed Alveare apartments would be a 335-unit affordable housing complex at 1405 S. Broadway.
