Benjamin Schonbrun, who previously leased an office building on the property to Snapchat maker Snap, Inc., is seeking approvals from Los Angeles Planning officials to construct a new three-story building on the site. The project will bring 16 studios and one-bedroom apartments on its upper floors, averaging 514 square feet in size. Plans call for 1,574 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and parking for 16 vehicles in stackers.
Schonbrun’s requested entitlements include density bonus incentives, permitting a larger structure than allowed by zoning rules, in exchange for providing two of the proposed apartments as affordable housing priced at the very low-income level.
Renderings reveal a contemporary low-rise building lined with balconies and clad in wood panels.
The project site was made available for redevelopment as a result of a fire in January 2021 which destroyed the 68-year-old, nearly 7,000-square-foot commercial building which previously stood on the property.
