Named Area H, the project proposes 189 residential units in a five-story building. The residences will be a mix of 97 one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom apartments. The apartments will be reserved for households earning between 30-80 percent of the area’s median income. Rents at the Area H building are expected to range from $545 to $1,384 per month.

Jordan Downs, built to house factory workers during World War II, was transformed into public housing during the 1950s. The City of Los Angeles is roughly halfway through implementing a ten-year master plan for the complex that will ultimately double the amount of housing at Jordan Downs from 700 units to approximately 1,400. The master plan will also add nine acres of public park space and a new retail center at Century Boulevard and Alameda Street. The final phase of the project, which is being master-planned by KTGY Architecture + Planning, calls for redeveloping the remaining 14 acres of Jordan Downs into 500 affordable rental units and 75 for-sale homes.
