New housing is moving toward completion on what was once a small surface lot at 3004 West Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. A five-story project now branded Mysa will deliver 74 apartments in late 2025, according to the developer’s own project page and City permit records. Building permits and planning files list Ryda Development in partnership with Local Development, with design work by Lahmon Architects.
Koreatown‘s glass‑tower at 3550 Wilshire Boulevard has begun its next chapter. A July 2025 permit issued by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety authorizes owner Jamison Services to convert the entire 20‑story office tower—completed in 1968 as Paramount Plaza—into housing. Plans prepared by Rockefeller Partners Architects call for 495 apartments carved out of the existing floor plates, with no addition to the building’s height or overall square footage.
A long‑planned transformation of the superblock next to One World Trade Center is underway at 600 West Broadway in Downtown Long Beach. City approvals clear two initial phases of Alexan West End, replacing acres of surface parking with four mid‑rise buildings totaling 600 apartments on roughly five acres. The development team pairs Trammell Crow Residential (TCR) with R&V Management, and design is by Studio One Eleven. Public notices list TCR’s affiliate Maple Multi‑Family Land as applicant.
Seven‑story TOC project by Bond Companies and HED delivers 90 units—10 affordable—plus pool, fitness studio, and rooftop amenities at 355 Glendale Boulevard in Echo Park.

The eight‑story structure from Lincoln Property Company, designed by local mainstay KFA Architecture, would occupy a mid‑block site just a short walk north of Metro’s E Line terminus at Downtown Santa Monica Station.
