The project stacks apartments over ground-floor commercial space in a podium configuration typical of corridor infill along Overland Avenue. The proposed 64 apartments will be designed as a mix of studios and one-bedroom floor plans. Commercial space will span an area of 1,395 square feet. Additionally, a 69 car garage will also be developed within the building.
The project utilizes Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) Tier 2, an incentive program that encourages housing near transit with additional entitlements when affordable units are provided. Out of the total, six apartments will be set aside as deed-restricted affordable housing at the extremely low-income level.
Architectural materials depict a glazed corner volume with stacked balconies and vertical screening elements; current site photos show the wood-frame superstructure topped out behind scaffolding.
City files associated with the address show an environmental clearance and a recorded haul-route request for 3555 Overland Avenue during early site work.

Lovely building design. However, those power poles and wires are an eyesore. Even small towns in most of Europe and other places have managed to underground their utilities, yet much of wealthy LA’s public realm is an embarrassingly behind the times. The renderings should reflect the reality of what is unfortunately really there.
