Six years after plans for a hotel tower fell through<\/a>, the owner of a large, vacant property in Koreatown<\/a> is set to instead build housing.<\/p>\n

Developer Leo Lee<\/a>, who set out one decade ago to redevelop the lot at 3800 W. 6th Street<\/a>, recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for what could eventually be an eight-story building featuring 219 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments with 8,748 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and two-level, 173-car basement parking garage.<\/p>\n

Although the project utilizes density bonus incentives, plans call for a fully market-rate development. The affordable housing requirement for the new building was satisfied by the construction of a seven-story, 80-unit senior affordable housing complex which Lee recently completed on an adjacent site on Hobart Boulevard.<\/a><\/p>\n

EWAI<\/a> is designing the project, which is depicted in a rendering as a contemporary podium-type building.<\/p>\n

Construction is to occur over a roughly 27-month period, according to a news release. Grading and shoring permits have been approved for the project, but a full building permit has not been issued at this point in time.<\/p>\n

The project site is located one block west of the intersection of 6th Street and Harvard Boulevard, where Jamison Services recently completed work on a similar mixed-use housing complex.<\/a><\/p>\n
