One block south of Venice Boulevard in Mid-City, two small residential buildings dating to the early 1940s have made way for a slightly larger multifamily residential development.

The project from Development House, now rising from a corner lot at 1669 S. Highland Avenue, will consist of two duplexes on a single lot with an attached recreation room.

Yu2e, Inc. is designing the project, named "The Highland," which will consist of colorful two-story structures with pitched rooflines. All of the residences would have two-bedroom, two-bathroom floor plans ranging from 1,000 to 1,043 square feet in size.

While the project currently consists of two duplexes, Development House founder Sean Navi states via e-mail that the project will pack more onto the approximately 6,250-square-foot lot. The 1,057-square-foot recreation room is to later be converted into two accessory dwelling units, each of which will feature one bedroom and one bathroom.
