A single-family home in Los Feliz is poised to make way for multifamily housing, per a recent application to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The project from applicant Joseph Sharaf, slated for a corner lot at along the north side of Franklin Avenue at 1900 N. Rodney Drive, calls for razing the existing home to clear the way for the construction of a new six-story building featuring 17 one- and two-bedroom apartments with parking for eight vehicles.

In exchange for development incentives to permit a larger structure than otherwise allowed by zoning, two of the apartments are to be set aside for rent as very low-income affordable housing.

Freelandbuck is designing the project, which is depicted in plans as a contemporary podium-type building clad in stucco and accented by metal screens.

The existing home, which dates to the mid-1920s, sold in February 2025 for $1.8 million, according to city records.
