33 apartments proposed at 806 S. Manhattan Place in Koreatown

An early 1940s residential building near the intersection of 8th Street and Western Avenue in Koreatown could be razed and redevelop with a larger building, per an application submitted recently to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The proposed seven-story building, slated for a parcel at 806 S. Manhattan Place, comes from applicant Bedrock Property Investors. Plans call for a total of 33 apartments in studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts, as well as ground-floor parking for seven vehicles.

Requested entitlements include Transit Oriented Communities incentives, which would permit a larger building than normally allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, four of the apartments would be set aside for rent by extremely low-income households.

Archeon Group is designing the apartment complex, which is portrayed in a rendering as a contemporary podium-type building capped by a rooftop deck.

The proposed project follows a handful of large mixed-use developments now planned or taking shape along Western Avenue one block to the east, including a 230-unit complex wrapping up work next to the historic Pellissier Square Garage.
