Construction is in the home stretch for a mixed-use apartment complex from Thrive Living in Chinatown.

Located east of L.A. State Historic Park at 1457 N. Main Street, the project is a six-story structure composed of prefabricated modular units. It will contain  376 studio and one-bedroom apartments atop 6,448 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and parking for 82 vehicles when open.

AO is designing the contemporary apartment complex, which will feature a rooftop deck, street-level courtyards, a gym, a recreation room, and a business center. T

As a condition of approval, Thrive Living is required to set aside 42 apartments as extremely low-income affordable housing. However, the developer has also announced its intent to target the remaining unrestricted units to moderate-income renters earning up to 80 percent of the area median income level.

The project is a prelude to several similar projects Thrive Living is planning across Los Angeles. The company secured a construction loan for a 290-unit development in East Hollywood last year, and recently initiated plans for more than 200 apartments in West Los Angeles. Thrive's largest project is a 800-unit complex in Baldwin Hills which will sit atop a Costco.
