The property, located across the street from Memorial Park at 1399 W.

Requested entitlements include density bonus incentives to permit more housing than would otherwise be allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, 35 of the new apartments would be set aside for rent as low-, very low-, and moderate-income affordable housing.

DFH Architects is designing 1399 Olympic, which is shown in plans as a contemporary podium-type building divided into three blocks, separated by courtyards and amenity decks.
