The project from co-applicants Kourosh Zoghi and David Hanasab, located at 2625 Cullen Street, replaced five existing homes with what will be a six-story building featuring 70 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as at-grade parking for 26 vehicles.

Project approvals require that the apartments be reserved for low- and moderate-income households, save for a mandatory market-rate manager's unit. That income restriction made the project eligible for density bonus incentives permitting a larger building than allowed by zoning rules.

Warren Techentin Architecture is designing the project, according to plans approved by the City of Los Angeles. Renderings depict a contemporary podium-type building.
