A developer has plans for a six-story, 50-unit apartment project to replace a commercial building on East Cesar E Chavez Avenue in Boyle Heights, according to a planning case posted by the city of Los Angeles this month.
The project would rise at 2115 – 2125 E. Cesar E Chavez Ave. and 301 – 309 N. Chicago St. and is being led by Cesar Chavez 888 LLC, a company led by Will Tiao of Tiao Properties, according to state business filings. The project site’s existing building has held three residential units and several commercial spaces, including for restaurant El Apetito.
Plans call for an approximately 56,000-square-foot, 75-foot-tall building over one story of commercial space and subterranean parking holding 39 automobile spaces. The new development would also include 6,500 square feet of common open space and space for 41 bicycles, plans show.
Also involved in the development plans is project representative Aaron Belliston, founder of real estate company BMR Enterprises.
The project site was acquired by Cesar Chavez 888 LLC last year for about $2.1 million, according to Los Angeles County property records.
