In West Hollywood, construction is in the home stretch for a LOHA-designed apartment complex just south of the Sunset Strip.

The project, located at 1136-1142 N. La Cienega Boulevard, consists of a five-story building that will feature 23 apartments above two levels of subterranean parking when completed. At the time of the project's approval by the West Hollywood Planning Commission in 2017, it was reported that four of the proposed residential units would be set aside as affordable housing.

The building is notable for its stepped profile and cantilevering elements. Its exterior is clad in metal.

"By eliminating the typical private courtyard solution and pushing the housing volume to one side of the building lot, the design provides each residential unit with public park frontage," reads a description from a project landing page on the LOHA website.

According to a representative of LOHA, the property could be ready for move-ins as early as November.

Los Angeles County Assessor records indicate that the property is owned by 1136/1142 La Cienega, LLC, an entity managed by Yosef Simsoly, which acquired the land in 2015.

The project site, in addition to its location near the Sunset Strip, also sits a few blocks north of Santa Monica Boulevard, where a similar apartment complex is slated for a corner lot at La Cienega Boulevard.
