One-and-a-half years since we last checked in, the stucco exterior of a new affordable housing complex from Azure and Many Mansions is unwrapped across the street from the Mariachi Plaza subway station in Boyle Heights.
The La Guadalupe apartments, located at 110 S. Boyle Avenue, consists of a five-story building that will feature 44 studio, one-, and two-bedroom homes for very low- and extremely low-income renters above approximately 7,100 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a 41-car garage. Plans also call for on-site case management services, financial education courses, food assistance, transportation assistance, and life skills training.

Y&M Architects is designing the contemporary podium-type building, which is to also feature outdoor decks at the roof and podium levels, and a community room within.
Construction of the project began in 2021. At the time, it was announced that its target population is homeless and chronically homeless families and individuals, who will be selected for the apartments using Los Angeles County’s Coordinated Entry System.

Funding sources for La Guadalupe include Measure HHH and low-income housing tax credits.
A similar affordable housing development with street-level retail was completed across the street from La Guadalupe in 2017, and another project is slated for a Metro-owned site adjacent to the Mariachi Plaza subway station entrance.
