The Los Angeles planning department has given approvals to plans for a seven-story, 150-unit mixed-use project at the northwest corner of West Sixth Street and South Harvard Boulevard in the Koreatown neighborhood, according to a determination letter filed last week. The developer of the project is an affiliate of LA-based real estate company Jamison.
The project will replace a roughly 17,000-square-foot post office building at 3751 W. 6th St. with a 100-foot-tall, 171,104-square-foot mixed-use building that will contain three studios, 118 one-bedrooms, and 29 two-bedrooms, along with almost 13,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.
Per the developer’s request, the project moves forward with Tier-3 project approvals under the city’s transit-oriented communities program. It will set aside 15 units for extremely low-income households and is allowed a 70-percent density bonus (on top of 88 units allowed otherwise) and 25-percent open space reduction, among other incentives.
The mixed-use project will also provide 192 automobile parking spaces through two subterranean levels and one ground level, as well as 122 bicycle spaces. Plans also call for 13,203 square feet of usable open space, including about 3,150 square feet of private decks, a 3,327-square-foot courtyard, 5,265-square-foot roof deck, and 1,461-square-foot fitness room.
The 34,662-square-foot project site, which sits in an Opportunity Zone census tract, was acquired for $12.5 million last year by a company registered to the address of the development arm for Jamison.
Other companies involved in the development include project architect Next Architecture and landscape architect SQLA.
