Commercial properties located just south of the I-10 Freeway in Historic South-Central are poised to give way to affordable housing, per two new applications to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The proposed projects, slated for sites located at 1708 and 1715 S. Wall Street, both come from applicant Reed Garwood of Pasadena-based Garwood Incorporated and property owner 1715 Wall Street, LLC. Officially two separate projects from the same team, they include:
- 1708 S. Wall Street: an 11-story, 129-foot-tall building containing 69 apartments with 545 square feet of ground-floor retail space; and
- 1715 S. Wall Street: an 11-story building containing 150 apartments.
Both application would utilize the streamlining provisions of Executive Directive 1 and affordable housing development incentives. They would be fully affordable housing developments, including a mix of low-, very low-, and extremely low-income units.

BAR Architects is designing the two buildings, with Relm serving as landscape architect. Renderings portray contemporary mid-rise structures capped with amenity decks.
The project site sits a short walk north of Washington Boulevard, the corridor which is home to Metro's A Line and several smaller affordable housing developments that have taken shape in recent years. Likewise, to the north in Downtown, other tall affordable housing developments have been built at the intersection of 6th and San Pedro Streets.
