The developers broke ground in May 2021, starting with the demolition of three existing buildings completed in the 1940s.
According to Yardi Matrix data, the financing for the project included:
- bonds totaling $14.7 million issued by City of Los Angeles Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds, with Zions Bank as a trustee
- a $10.5 million construction loan from the City of Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department
- $100,000 in construction financing from Los Angeles County Development Authority
The four-story building incorporates studios and one-bedroom floorplans ranging between 314 and 550 square feet. Common-area amenities include a community room, a rooftop terrace, laundry facilities, electric charging stations, a solar electrical system, controlled access and parking spaces.
