The Los Angeles City Council has affirmed the approval of a proposed studio complex in Baldwin Hills, rejecting two appeals which sought to block the project's construction.

The proposed development from 4SBay Partners, LLC, named Stocker Street Creative for its location at 3701 W. Stocker Street, calls for the construction of six buildings containing more than 250,000 square feet of production, office, and restaurants pace, as well as parking for 344 vehicles and a community room.

JGM is designing the project, which is shown in plans with contemporary concrete-frame buildings rising up to seven stories and 110 feet in height.

An environmental study circulated for the project last year indicated that Stocker Street Creative could be built over a period of 35 months upon the start of construction.

The project faced appeals from CREED LA and SAFER, the former a coalition of several building trades unions, and the latter backed by Laborers' International Union of North America. Both argued that the project's approvals should be set aside due to potential impacts to air quality and the unmitigated construction noise. The Council denied both appeals in a unanimous vote.

The studio complex is one of three large proposed developments on sites near the K in Baldwin Hills. Harridge Development Group recently broke ground on the first elements of a project that would add more than 900 homes, a hotel, and other commercial uses to the 42-acre Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza mall property to the northeast.
