A mid-block site located just east of Vermont Avenue in Koreatown is poised for redevelopment with a multifamily residential development, per a recent application to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.
The proposed project from applicant Westmoreland Los Angeles, LLC, slated for a property at 2941 W. 8th Street, calls for razing five existing homes to clear the way for the construction of a seven-story building featuring 55 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments atop semi-subterranean parking for 21 vehicles.
Requested entitlements include Transit Oriented Communities incentives to permit a larger structure than otherwise allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, six of the apartments would be set aside for rent by very low-income households.
JPark Architects is designing the project, which is depicted in a rendering as a contemporary podium-type building. Plans show the apartment complex would include a rooftop amenity deck.
The proposed development follows a string of similar mixed-use and multifamily residential developments recently built along nearby sites fronting 8th Street and Vermont Avenue.
