A short walk from Metro's Vermont/Santa Monica Station in East Hollywood, townhomes are set to replace a more than century-old single-family dwelling, according to a new application to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The project from the Irvine-based entity 1155 North Heliotrope Drive, LLC, slated for an address which corresponds to the entity name, calls for subdividing the approximately 6,700-square-foot property into four lots, each of which would be developed with a single-family home.

Parsargad Design, LLC is the architect attached to the project, which is shown in plans as a row of contemporary three-story structures arranged around a common driveway. Each home would include three bedrooms, a roof deck, and a two-car garage on the ground floor.

City records indicate the property last sold in 2020 for approximately $800,000.

The project is utilizing the provisions of SB 1123 and SB 684, two recent state bills which have streamlined the approval of townhome-style developments.

Larger mixed-use and multifamily residential developments have recently reshaped the nearby stretches of Santa Monica and Vermont adjacent to the Metro hub.
