Project Description: The
Project proposes a new mixed-use development on a 96,523-square-foot site (Project Site) located in the Central City
North Community Plan area of the City of Los Angeles (the Project). The Project would include up to 347 new
live-work units, of which 5 percent of the total proposed units (18 units) would be set aside for Extremely Low
Income Households, and 11 percent of the total proposed units (39 units) would be set aside for Very Low Income
Households, approximately 187,374 square feet of new office space, 21,858 square feet of new commercial floor area,
and a 926-square-foot community room.
The uses would be located in a 36-story residential tower with a maximum height of
425 feet and an eight-story office building comprised of seven levels of office space and a partial eighth level
with a maximum height of 131 feet. In addition, five existing buildings within the northern portion of the
Project Site that comprise approximately 56,686 square feet would be retained with office, retail, restaurant,
warehouse, and six live‑work units. Two existing buildings that contain four live‑work units and two
existing open sheds would be removed. Upon completion, up to 569,448 square feet of floor area would be located
within the Project Site, including the existing floor area to remain, resulting in a maximum floor area ratio
(FAR) of 6.0:1.
