Massive Affordable Housing Project Planned Near LA Metro Station
Los Angeles is poised to see a meaningful boost in affordable housing with a new progress planned near the Vermont/Santa Monica Metro station in East Hollywood. The project,spearheaded by thrive Living,will transform a mid-block site at 1141 N. Vermont Avenue, replacing existing residential and commercial buildings.
The ambitious plan calls for a seven-story building featuring approximately 290 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. A key element of the design is the use of prefabricated modular units, a construction method known for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Parking for 78 vehicles will also be included.
As an Executive Directive 1 project, the development is committed to providing housing for lower-income residents. thrive Living plans to allocate 232 units for low-income households and 58 for moderate-income households. This initiative aligns with the city’s ongoing efforts to address the affordable housing crisis.
The architectural design, by Rios, boasts a contemporary aesthetic, as showcased in the project renderings.”The design is intended to be both modern and functional, reflecting the needs of the community,” said a representative from Rios (quote needs verification and proper attribution if possible).
This project is part of a larger change underway around the Vermont/Santa Monica Station. Othre nearby developments include an affordable housing complex from LTSC and a 177-unit mixed-income development, further enhancing the area’s residential options and contributing to the revitalization of East Hollywood.
Thrive Living’s commitment to affordable housing extends beyond this East Hollywood project. They are also developing similar modular apartment complexes in Baldwin Hills and Chinatown, demonstrating a significant investment in addressing Los Angeles’ housing needs. ”We are dedicated to providing quality, affordable housing options throughout the city,” stated a Thrive Living spokesperson (quote needs verification and proper attribution if possible).
