Supportive Housing Project Nears Completion at 414 South Crocker Street in Downtown Los Angeles

Construction activity is nearing completion at 414 South Crocker Street in Downtown Los Angeles, where a new affordable and supportive housing development is rising on the former site of the Umeya Rice Cake Company factory. The project occupies parcels addressed as 412-426 South Crocker Street and replaces an industrial use with a large-scale residential complex.

Developed by the Little Tokyo Service Center, the project, known as The Umeya, consists of a seven-story building containing 175 apartments, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. All residences are designated for low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income households, with 50 percent of the units reserved as permanent supportive housing.

Architectural plans prepared by FSY Architects arrange the building in a V-shaped configuration, creating two courtyards at street level. This massing strategy organizes the residential wings around shared open-air spaces that are visible in project renderings.

In addition to housing, plans call for approximately 13,000 square feet of ground-floor space dedicated to community uses, retail, and service providers. The development also incorporates a mural by Skid Row artist Showzart, integrated into the building façade as part of the completed project.

Once completed, the development at 414 South Crocker Street will deliver a fully income-restricted residential complex that combines affordable housing, permanent supportive units, and on-site community-serving space within a single project footprint.
