Just south of MacArthur Park in Westlake, framing is complete for a new affordable housing complex from non-profit developer Abode Communities.
The Grandview Apartments, located at 714-760 S. Grand View Street, replaced 18 duplexes with a new six-story building that will feature 100 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments above a 25-car garage.

According to a city staff report, the apartments will cater to renters at the low- and extremely low-income levels, and roughly half of the residential units will serve as permanent supportive housing.
The contemporary podium-type building will include two courtyards and two roof decks, according to plans approved by the City of Los Angeles.

At the time of an August 2023 staff report from the Housing Department, the project was expected to cost $84 million. Staff cited factors including increased construction costs relative to when the project began the entitlement process, delays in the approval and environmental review processes, and required payments for tenant relocation in justifying the overall price tag.
In addition to its Westlake project, Abode is also developing the Manchester Urban Homes, a 122-unit affordable housing complex now underway near the 110 Freeway, as well as two other projects in South Los Angeles.
