A new residential tower is taking shape and form at 696 South New Hampshire Avenue in Koreatown, Los Angeles. The project proposal includes the development of a high-rise tower featuring residential and commercial spaces.
Holland Partner Group is the project developer. MVE + Partners is responsible for the designs.
Named Hallasan, the high-rise tower is all set to finish construction for the new 38-story building, featuring 375 residential units. The tower will also feature 3,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor. Renderings reveal a contemporary glass-and-steel facade for the high-rise. The tower will include an eight-story parking podium clad in a transparent screen. Architectural plans show amenity decks above both the building’s podium and rooftop.
Hallasan originated as the signature component of a larger mixed-use project proposed by Harridge Development Group. Under that plan, a former I. Magnin department store on Wilshire Boulevard would be transformed into a 160-room hotel, and an adjoining parking lot would be redeveloped with a low-rise apartment complex.

The tower is the latest addition in a recent string of high-rise developments along in Koreatown. The project site is located at the northeast corner of 7th Street and New Hampshire Avenue, near the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Vermont Avenue.
