Los Angeles-based developer Category Company has broken ground on more infill housing in Koreatown.
The firm's latest development, now rising at the former site of a fourplex at 726 S. Wilton Place, will consist of a six-story edifice featuring 25 one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-bedroom apartments atop street-level parking for 22 vehicles.
Bittoni Architects is designing the new apartment complex, which will feature a facade of white stucco accented with wood panels. Floor plans indicate that a small recreation room and a courtyard would be located at the building's second floor.
Completion of 726 Wilton is expected in early 2023, according to a representative of Bittoni Architects.
The project is the latest in a long series of collaborations between Category Company, which specializes in co-living apartment complexes, and Bittoni, including similar developments in Larchmont, East Hollywood, Mar Vista, and Del Rey.
The site sits just two blocks south of Wilton's intersection with Wilshire Boulevard, where a larger mixed-use project featuring 228 apartments was completed by Jamison Services in mid-2021.
