At its April 24 meeting, the Los Angeles City Planning Commission signed off on a proposal to bring affordable housing to a site just east of the Cal State University, Northridge campus.
Proposed by Los Angeles-based developer Uncommon, the project at17829 W. Halsted Street, calls for the construction of a new five-story building containing 232 apartments above a single level of subterranean parking with 63 vehicle stalls.

As a condition of approval for density bonus incentives permitting a larger building than zoning rules would otherwise allow, all of the apartments are to be set aside for rent as low- and moderate-income housing save for a market rate manager's unit.
JZA Architecture is designing the contemporary podium-type building, which is named Uncommon Halsted.

Uncommon, best known for buildings the mixed-use headquarters campus of MGA Entertainment in Chatsworth, has a number of market-rate and affordable housing developments in the works, including projects in Inglewood, Hollywood, North Hills, and Beverly Grove, among other locations. Recently, the company initiated plans for a 12-story tower west of the UCLA campus in Westwood.
The Northridge project is smaller than what was initially pitched for the site. Last year, Uncommon proposed the project as a larger seven-story building featuring 255 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments above podium parking for 125 vehicles.
