Developers have completed the framing for a new mixed-use residential complex at 5560-5566 W. Pico Boulevard. The project includes 40 apartments and is expected to provide studio and one-bedroom units to the area.
Why it matters
The development utilizes Transit Oriented Communities incentives to expand housing capacity in exchange for setting aside units for extremely low-income residents. This structure allows for a larger building footprint while integrating affordable options into the local housing supply.
The seven-story building features 40 total units and 1,350 square feet of retail space, supported by podium parking for 25 vehicles. Developers have dedicated 4 of these apartments for extremely low-income households.
The players
Khal Khaireddin Architects
An architectural firm responsible for the design of the residential complex.
The details
Designed by Khal Khaireddin Architects, the project occupies a corner lot and incorporates zoning incentives to increase its size. By securing these entitlements, the developers were able to build a larger seven-story structure than standard zoning might otherwise permit. The site includes limited on-site parking and ground-level commercial space intended to serve residents and the local Mid-City community.
Timeline
The project broke ground in 2025.
Framing for the building was completed in September 2026.
Money Landscape
The project follows the expansion patterns established by the City of Los Angeles Transit Oriented Communities incentive program to increase urban density. This trend reflects a broader push to pair residential growth with accessible transit corridors throughout the city.
Local renters should monitor the project's progress for future availability of studio and one-bedroom apartments in Mid-City. Those interested in affordable housing opportunities can consult with a housing professional to track eligibility requirements for such designated units.
The takeaway
This development highlights the ongoing effort to increase local housing density through specific zoning incentives. Households looking for new rental options should keep this site on their radar as the project nears its finishing stages.
