Framing is rising at 2721 West Wilshire Boulevard, in Westlake. The project, by The Richman Group, will be almost entirely low income housing. It is being built on what used to be the parking lot of “The Bryson,” the iconic, deco era hotel that has also been converted to low income housing. The new project has been titled “Bryson II.”
