First components of Enlightenment Plaza unwrapped

Just east of Metro's Vermont/Beverly Station, the wrapping is starting to come off at Enlightenment Plaza, one of the largest permanent supportive housing developments in Los Angeles history.4

The project, which is being developed by Flexible PSH Solutions, Inc., occupies a site to the north of Beverly Boulevard between Madison and Janita Avenues. The first two buildings of the complex, the Rousseau and Montesquieu apartments, are five- and six-story buildings will collectively feature a total of 105 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, according to Los Angeles Housing Department records.

A full buildout of Enlightenment Plaza will create 387 apartments across multiple structures composed of prefabricated modular untis. That's down from the original plan for the site, which had called for up to 454 apartments.

KFA Architecture is designing the project, which will also include a central green space linked by pedestrian pathways which lead to the surrounding streets of Oakwood, Madison, and Juanita Avenues.
