With plans for an Art Deco hotel tower now off the table, the owner of fast foot restaurant near the Cineramadome in Hollywood has opted instead to pursue high-rise housing.

In an application filed yesterday with the Planning Department, Galaxy Commercial Holdings proposes the redevelopment of a roughly half-acre property at 6409 Sunset Boulevard with a new 34-story building featuring 239 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments above approximately 6,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and parking for 227 vehicles.

Requested entitlements include density bonus incentives to permit a larger building than would otherwise be allowed by zoning rules at this location. In exchange, 37 of the new apartments are to be set aside for rent by very low- and moderate-income renters.

SCB is designing the tower, with Relm serving as landscape architect. Renderings depict a contemporary high-rise, standing approximately 375 feet in height, and adorned with a rooftop amenity deck.

The new filing comes within a year of Galaxy Commercial Holdings securing approvals for a larger high-rise development down to the road to the west at 6800 Sunset Boulevard.

Both projects would join a handful of approved, but as-yet unbuilt high-rise apartment towers in Hollywood A similar 28-story building was approved in 2019 to replace the former home of Amoeba at 6400 Sunset Boulevard, and the two-tower Palladium Residences development at 6201 Sunset was entitled in 2016, but never began construction after becoming embroiled in a legal battle waged by the neighboring AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

This article has been updated with revised project info provided by the architect which was not incorporated in the case file. The project was previously referred to as a 27-story building.
