262-Unit Wilshire Center Mixed-Use Project Receives Green Light

The Los Angeles planning department has given approvals to plans for a 262-unit mixed-use apartment project in the Wilshire Center neighborhood, according to a determination letter filed by the city last week.

The owner and applicant behind the project is 3020 Wilshire LLC, which is registered in state filings to the address of Jamison Properties, the development arm of real estate investment company Jamison.

The eight-story mixed-use development will replace a two-story commercial building at 3020 Wilshire Boulevard that has held a mix of church, dining, school, and office uses. Plans call for 16 studios, 211 one-bedrooms, and 35 two-bedrooms over about 10,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space split evenly between east and west stores facing Wilshire Boulevard.

The architect for the project is Togawa Smith Martin, while the landscape architect is TGP Inc.

The project will provide 367 automobile parking spaces in an underground and above-ground parking garage, as well as 272 bicycle spaces.

It will also offer about 28,000 square feet of usable open space and 66 new trees, the determination letter shows.

The 1.2-acre project site and existing property was acquired by an affiliate of Jamison Properties for $13.5 million in 2014, according to Los Angeles County property records.
