A new affordable housing project has been proposed at 569-571 West 6th Street in San Pedro. The project proposal includes the development of a four-story residential complex. Plans call for the demolition of a small restaurant and an optometrist’s office on the site.
SoLa Impact is the project developer. Breen Engineering is managing the design concepts and construction.
The project will bring 48 apartments to a four-story structure. The residences will be offered as a mix of studios and one-bedroom apartments. All the apartments will be reserved for households earning at or below 30 percent of the area’s median income.
Renderings reveal a low-rise building designed in contemporary styles.
SoLa Impact is developing the apartment complex following the Transit Oriented Communities guidelines, which incentivize affordable housing developments on properties near transit. The incentives used for the 6th Street development will include an allowance to build housing without on-site parking.
The project broke ground earlier this year. A similar project recently broke ground a few blocks away. The under-construction project sits directly across the street from a currently empty lot where 1010 Development Corp. is planning a five-story, 49-unit permanent supportive housing complex using Measure HHH funding.

I have concerns about the design sustainability within public interest and the realization of the reflection tablet used. To clarify, the design is an issue due to the fact it is reflecting institutional framework, more specifically, prison institutional framework. It would only be a matter of time before the idea behind the architecture design is demonized and set forth by extremist groups for dismantling and destroying. Given we are already at Target for the world as the second largest distribution port in the world, my concerns are a national security issue and an overall moral standard for the prisons mirror us we do not mirror the prison industry and or Union no matter how much money is being contributed. The people, the citizens, the taxpayers will eventually pay for something they didn’t even know they were purchasing or for better terminology becoming liable for the maintenance of an uneasy structural design reflecting the parts of our societal developmental educational citizenship that may or may not be just ready show the world their best as an active member of local communities and or US citizenship.
