After three years of quiet, plans from Onni Group<\/a> apartment tower near Wilshire\/La Brea Station on the Miracle Mile<\/a> are once again moving forward.<\/p>\n

This week, the Los Angeles Department of City Planning published a draft environmental impact report for the Wilshire and Cloverdale project,\u00a0<\/a>which would bring a 46-story high-rise to a roughly 1.4 acre site located at 5350-5376 Wilshire Boulevard. 419 one- and two-bedroom dwellings atop 2,645 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space and parking for 443 vehicles.<\/p>\n

Requested approvals include Transit Oriented Communities incentives<\/a> to permit a larger, denser development than zoning rules would otherwise allow due to the property’s location near the recently-completed subway station. In exchange, the proposed tower would include 47 units of extremely low-income affordable housing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MVE + Partners<\/a> is designing the proposed tower, which would rise approximately 530 feet in height, and is described as a “contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco architecture.” Plans call for a top floor with five penthouses, with amenities such as a fitness center, a sky lounge, and a pool deck located below.<\/p>\n

The project will also retain approximately 42,000 square feet of commercial uses fronting Wilshire Boulevard – including the Dark Room building, which is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. The 1920s and 1930s construction are described as the inspiration for the high-rise design concept in a narrative included with the entitlement submission.<\/p>\n

Construction is projected to occur over three years after groundbreaking.<\/p>\n

The project is one of a small handful of high-rise buildings in the works for the Miracle Mile, including the\u00a042-story residential tower at 5411 Wilshire Boulevard<\/a> proposed by Walter N. Marks, Inc.\u00a0<\/a>Onni Group has also doubled down on residential towers in the neighborhood, with a proposal for twin 67-story towers at the Wilshire Courtyard property<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Onni has recently pivoted to housing at several sites, including Wilshire Courtyard, as demand for Los Angeles office space has plummeted in the wake of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
