A new mixed-use project has been proposed at 717 North Hill Street in Chinatown, Los Angeles. The project proposal includes the development of an eight-story apartment building offering residences and retail space. Plans call for the demolition of a parking lot on the site.
Local real estate firm TRJA LLC is the project developer. AC Martin is responsible for the design concepts.

The project site is a parcel spanning an area of 1.9 acres. The project will bring 411 apartments into an eight-story building spanning an area of 366,000-square-foot. The residences will be offered as a mix of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Retail space measuring an area of 17,000 square feet will be developed on the ground floor. Plans also call for 314 parking stalls to be located within two subterranean levels.

TRJLA’s requested entitlements include Transit-Oriented Communities affordable housing incentives, including a reduction to require side yards and on-site parking, as well as an increase in allowable floor area and density. In exchange, 42 of the proposed apartments will be set aside for rent by extremely low-income households.

Renderings reveal five floors of wood-frame construction above a concrete podium. The exterior is designed in fiber cement panels with white cement plaster along the rear property line. A wedge-shaped carving into the building will provide room for an amenity deck, and street-level open space to the west, while a second podium-level deck is also planned to the rear of the site.
