The West Los Angeles Sawtelle Neighborhood Council‘s land-use committee on Tuesday will review plans by San Francisco-based Carmel Partners to develop a pair of eight-story apartment buildings along South Bundy Drive totaling a combined 460 units, the neighborhood group’s meeting agenda shows.
In all, the Sawtelle project would replace 16 single-family homes split between 2217 – 2227 S. Bundy Drive, which is just north of Tennessee Avenue, and 2301 – 2319 S. Bundy Avenue and 2302 – 2312 S. Amherst Ave. — a site just south of Tennessee Avenue. On the northern site, Carmel Partners would develop a roughly 240,000-square-foot, 83-foot-tall building with 265 units, while the southern site would hold a 180,000-square-foot, 83-foot-tall building with 195 units; 52 apartments would be reserved for extremely low-income households.
Carmel Partners’ plans are subject to a discussion and possible vote from the neighborhood council committee, according to this month’s agenda. The developer is seeking Tier-4 project incentives under the city’s transit-oriented communities program, such as an 80-percent density bonus and a three-story height increase.
Designs for the West LA plans are being led by project architect Carrier Johnson + Culture and landscape architect GroundLevel Landscape Architecture. Along with a mix of one-bedrooms through three-bedrooms and live-work apartments, designs also call for about 45,000 square feet of open space in the form of courtyard decks, pools, and other features.
The project would provide two underground parking levels and one at-grade parking level for a total of 429 automobiles.
