At the intersection of 52nd Street and Crenshaw Boulevard in Hyde Park, the wrapping is off for a pair of mixed-use residential developments.

The first of the two projects, which comes from Los Angeles-based Haroni Investments, consists of a five-story structure at 5144 S. Crenshaw Boulevard that will feature 78 one- and two-bedroom apartments above 3,400 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and basement parking for 64 vehicles.

Project entitlements include Transit Oriented Communities incentives, allowing for a larger building than would otherwise be permitted by zoning rules. In exchange, eight of the new apartments will be set aside as deed-restricted affordable housing at the extremely low-income level.

South across 52nd Street, work also continues for a mixed-use project from SoLa Impact is at 5300 S. Crenshaw Boulevard.

Located on a site previously occupied by a laundromat, the five-story building will feature 82 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments above 1,800 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 41 subterranean parking spaces when completed.

Transit Oriented Communities incentives granted to the project will require that nine of the new apartments be set aside for rent as extremely low-income affordable housing.

BFK Architecture + Planning is designing the apartment complex, according to city records.

The project is taking shape along a busy stretch of Crenshaw Boulevard, which has recently seen new investments in public art and open space through the $100-million Destination Crenshaw project, as well as other housing projects such as a larger 195-unit apartment complex which SoLa Impact is building a few blocks north at 4611 S. Crenshaw Boulevard.
