Just east of MacArthur Park, wood framing is rising above the concrete podium of a new mixed-use apartment building.
Construction at 1930 W 6th StreetUrbanize LA
The project, now taking shape on a corner lot at the intersection of 6th Street and Westlake Avenue, will eventually consist of a six-story podium-type building featuring 63 apartments above parking and 1,200 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
Though a by-right project, the building is designed using Transit Oriented Communities guidelines to permit a larger structure than allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, seven of the new apartments will be set aside as deed-restricted affordable housing.
Los Angeles County Assessor's records list the owner of the development site as an entity affiliated with the Irvine-based real estate investment firm Sperry Equities. The property was acquired for $5.9 million in August 2019.

The project is located near new affordable housing developments taking shape 437 and 619 S. Westlake Avenue, as well as the future site of a market-rate apartment complex with retail space is at 1701 W. 6th Street.
