Ten months since our last check in, construction has entered the home stretch at the Isla Intersections in South L.A.'s Broadway-Manchester neighborhood.
The apartment complex at 283 W. Imperial Highway, a joint venture between Holos Communities and American Family Housing, sits on a triangular-shaped site located just north of the immense 110-105 interchange. The five-story building will feature 53 studio apartments and 900 square feet of ground-floor commercial uses when completed.

LOHA is designing the Isla project, which is composed of prefabricated modular units arranged create terrace decks for residents. Athens Way, a short road which flanks the western perimeter of the site, is intended to be converted into a "shared street" called the Annenberg Paseo. The corridor, where pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists will share the same right-of-way, is being named for the Annenberg Foundation, which provided funding for the project.
At a cost of more than $22-million, the apartment complex is expected to cater to formerly unhoused residents earning between 30 and 40 percent of the area median income, according to a staff report by the Housing and Community Investment Department.

Besides its Broadway-Manchester project, Holos Communities is also developing the Corazon del Valle apartments in Panorama City.
The site sits across the future Annenberg Paseo from another proposed affordable housing complex at 11301 S. Athens Way.
