A revised residential proposal has been submitted for 5519 North Elmer Avenue in North Hollywood, where plans outline a seven-story apartment building organized around a compact podium form with a consistent residential mass rising above a ground-level base. The project occupies a mid-block parcel and is designed as a standalone multifamily building rather than a mixed-use complex. Architectural drawings show a rectilinear structure with stacked residential floors and a simplified circulation core, reflecting a straightforward podium-type configuration.
Project materials identify California Development & Design Inc. as the architect. The development is proposed by Elmer 26, LLC.

The revised plan calls for 87 apartments in a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Units are arranged across the upper floors above a base that accommodates building access and parking, with circulation and vertical cores consolidated to maximize residential floor area. Parking is provided for 20 vehicles, marking a reduced on-site parking supply integrated into the building footprint.

Renderings depict a contemporary exterior composed of light-toned wall planes, darker accent volumes, and projecting balconies that articulate the facade along Elmer Avenue. Upper levels step minimally from the street edge, while the building’s vertical organization remains legible through consistent window spacing and balcony alignment.

At the top of the structure, plans show a rooftop deck designed as shared open space for residents. The roof level includes landscaped areas and seating, visually set back from the primary facade and treated as an extension of the residential program rather than an additional occupied floor.

The proposal is configured as a fully income-restricted residential development, with all apartments reserved for households at the low- and moderate-income levels. The project remains subject to review by the City of Los Angeles as the updated application proceeds through the planning process.
