A single-family home in Los Angeles’ Mid-Wilshire neighborhood is proposed to be replaced with a new affordable housing development, according to a recent application with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.
New Affordable Housing Project Proposed for Mid-Wilshire
The proposed project, filed by an entity affiliated with Los Angeles-based Avenue Homes, would construct a four-story building at 4532 W. Edgewood Place. The building is planned to include 41 apartments, comprised of one- and three-bedroom units.
The development application requests approvals through the Citywide Housing Incentive Program, indicating the project would be fully income-restricted. No on-site parking is currently proposed as part of the plan.
Open Office is listed as the building’s designer, with Savage Land Design serving as the landscape architect. Avenue Homes and Open Office are also collaborating on similar affordable housing projects in Historic Filipinotown and North Hollywood.
If approved, the project could add much-needed affordable housing units to the Mid-Wilshire area. A possible next step involves review and consideration by the Los Angeles Department of City Planning. Further approvals may be required before construction can begin. It is also likely to be subject to community review and feedback.
