AMCAL Multi-Housing Company has unveiled new designs for an affordable housing development at 4900 Eagle Rock Boulevard. The project, now under review by the City of Los Angeles, will deliver 64 income-restricted apartments in Eagle Rock.
The design team has shifted from BSB Design, which prepared the initial concept, to The Albert Group Architects, which authored the updated plans.
The revised scheme maintains the 64-unit density but modifies the form: one of the proposed buildings is now planned to rise five stories, while the other remains shorter in scale. The apartments are intended for lower-income households and would be offered in a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts. Parking has been expanded from the previously proposed 12 spaces to 32 spaces in the current design.
The development makes use of the Citywide Housing Incentive Program, which provides zoning flexibility for projects that dedicate all units as affordable.
Renderings by The Albert Group Architects present a pair of minimalist, rectilinear buildings with clean white façades punctuated by large, recessed windows. The structures are arranged around a central open space, with ground-floor activation and visible circulation elements such as staircases clad in warm-toned screens. The design emphasizes simplicity and light, using angular massing and contrasting window frames to break up the scale of the blocks.
The two-building complex replaces a prior plan by Panorama Senior Housing, which secured approval in 2021 for a 109-unit assisted living facility at the same address. That project was never realized.
