More single-family homes in Los Angeles are slated for demolition and replacement with multifamily buildings.
The Los Angeles City Planning Commission signed off on a proposal for a mixed-use development at 1410-1422 Main Street in Venice, Urbanize Los Angeles reported. The development would rise in the place of two neighboring single-family homes.
The project comes from Three on the Tree LLC, which is managed by local developer Jason Teague and investor Brittany DeBeikes, according to Urbanize. Designs are being handled by Venice-based m_Royce Architecture.
Three on the Tree’s proposal calls for the construction of a new five-story building with 20 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments. The structure would also feature 3,676 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space and parking for 28 vehicles. Amenities include a rooftop terrace deck for residents.
The project applicants received commission approval for density bonus incentives, allowing for a larger building than zoning rules would otherwise allow. In exchange for the bigger size, the building must include four apartments designed for rent at the very-low-income level. In Los Angeles County, very-low-income is generally defined as a maximum annual income of $53,000 for one person or $75,750 for a household of four.
A similar plan for multifamily on a single-family lot has emerged across Los Angeles in Koreatown.
Earlier this year, developer Jafar Shahbaz filed plans with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning for the construction of a six-story building with 16 two-bedroom apartments at 810 South Wilton Place. Shahbaz is seeking entitlements including Transit-Oriented Communities incentives, allowing for a larger-than-usual structure in exchange for two apartments set aside for rent to extremely-low-income households, which include individuals making less than $31,850 annually or a household of four with a $45,450 annual income. The 810 South Wilton development is one block south of another six-story, 25-unit apartment building at 726 South Wilton Place, which opened to renters in 2024 after replacing a single-family home at the site.
