A proposed development which would bring a new hotel and housing to a corner lot in Koreatown has been approved by the Los Angeles City Council.

The project from applicant Mike Barry, slated for a site at 3216 W. 8th Street, calls for the construction of a seven-story building featuring a 60-room hotel, 20 apartments, and 3,950 square feet of ground-floor commercial uses. Plans also call for a three-level, 71-car subterranean parking garage.

Barry's project would include four units of extremely low-income affordable housing, replacing an existing rent-stabilized apartment building on the site. Existing tenants would have the right to return to the new project, should they meet income eligibility requirements.

EWAI Architecture is the project, which would include shared amenities such as swimming pools at the second floor and rooftop.

Upon the start of construction, completion of the building would occur within approximately 24 months.
