Withee Malcom Architects have designed the project to include an “M” shaped floor-plate shape, bringing daylight to studio, one, two, and three bedroom units, with one bedroom units being the most common apartment size. Other than the manager’s unit, all of the housing is set to be affordable income housing, ranging from 30-80% of the median area income. Unit rents are proposed to start at $518 a month, and max out at $2,110. In addition to the monthly rent price, utilities range from $30 to $62.

The Los Angeles LGBT Center, the Hollywood Arts University High School, a post office, a night club, and various restaurants are within walking distance of the address. Construction expected to finish by 2024.
