Located at the former site of an abandoned building at 4604 S. Western Avenue, the new development will consist of a five-story edifice featuring 49 studio and one-bedroom apartments, all of which would be reserved for formerly homeless persons save for a manager's unit.
RMG entitled the project using Transit Oriented Communities incentives, allowing no on-site parking and a larger structure than otherwise permitted by base zoning.
City records indicate that E.D.D.G., Inc. is designing 4604 Western, which is depicted in a rendering as a contemporary low-rise structure.

RMG Housing, per a recent profile in the Los Angeles Times, is paying for its new slate of projects through a $100-million social impact fund which, which allows it to build supportive housing faster and at a lower cost than similar developments relying on tax credits and government sources.
