A compact multifamily housing project has received approval for 9335 Noble Avenue in North Hills, where a single residential parcel will be redeveloped with a three-story, seven-unit building designed in a townhome-style configuration. Rather than adopting a conventional small apartment block layout, the project organizes its massing and circulation to read as a series of attached residential units scaled to the surrounding neighborhood.

Plans show the building arranged longitudinally along the lot, with individual units stacked across three levels and articulated to emphasize vertical separation between homes. This configuration allows the project to introduce additional housing while maintaining a low-rise profile consistent with nearby residential development. Parking for 13 vehicles is incorporated on site, supporting the project’s increased density without expanding its footprint beyond the existing parcel.

The architectural approach draws from townhome and rowhouse precedents, using repeated volumes and individual entries to differentiate units within a single structure. Elevations depict a contemporary residential form with clean lines, recessed balconies, and perimeter landscaping that softens the building’s street presence and frames private and shared outdoor areas.

At the rear of the property, plans include a yard and landscaped open space, extending usable outdoor areas beyond the building envelope. This rear-yard condition reinforces the project’s townhome character and distinguishes it from podium-style apartment developments more commonly associated with larger sites.

The project is designed by Office for Collective Architecture and advances under off-menu density bonus incentives, which permit the added residential intensity in exchange for on-site affordability. One of the seven units is reserved for a very low-income household, integrating income-restricted housing into a small-scale residential format.
