Developer Red Oak Investments has plans for a 354-unit mixed-use apartment project to replace a mobile home park in the Harbor City neighborhood, according to a planning case posted by the city of Los Angeles this month.
The 3.7-acre project site of 1268 – 1290 Pacific Coast Highway and 25900 S. Frampton Avenue currently includes vacant land and the A-1 Trailer Park. Red Oak Investments has been working to relocate tenants from the mobile home park, with 42 tenants remaining, according to its planning application. The Irvine-based company has agreed to replace those units through the proposed project, which would include 42 apartments reserved for very low-income households, plans show.
Designs for the proposed development are being led by Santa Monica-based VTBS Architects, with landscape architect LandStudio360 also involved, according to planning documents.
Plans call for 113 studio apartments, 115 one-bedrooms, 112 two-bedrooms, and 14 three-bedrooms, along with 1,500 square feet of commercial space. Studios would range in size from 558 to 658 square feet, ones from 734 to 854 square feet, twos from 1,113 to 1,220 square feet, and threes from 1,387 to 1,516 square feet.
The four- to six-story apartment building would have a total floor area of about 410,000 square feet and reach a maximum height of 80 feet.
Plans also call for about 10,200 square feet of interior recreation areas and a total of 41,356 square feet of open space that would include two courtyards, a pool, a sky deck and lounge at the top level, and private decks in 223 of the apartments.
The Harbor City project would provide 575 automobile parking spaces in an enclosed six-story garage, along with space for 185 bicycles.
Red Oak Investments acquired the project site through an affiliate in a pair of transactions in 2019 totaling about $9.3 million, according to county property data.
