The NoHo Neighborhood Council board Wednesday evening will review and possibly vote on plans for a seven-story, 171-key hotel project in the NoHo Arts District , its meeting agenda shows.
The applicant behind the planned project, which was proposed in November and reviewed by the neighborhood council’s land-use committee in January, is Agoura Hills-based Napa Industries LLC, which lists Brook Fain as manager in state business filings.
The hotel development would rise at 5041–5057 Lankershim Blvd. and 11121 Hesby St., replacing two one-story commercial buildings with a 115,532-square-foot, 85-foot-tall mixed-use hotel development. Along with 171 guest rooms, plans call for 9,350 square feet of retail and restaurant space and a total of 89 parking spaces split between one underground level and one ground-floor level.
Designs are being led by project architect AXIS/GFA Architecture + Design and landscape architect Orange Street Studio, with the project currently taking the name Lankershim Hotel, application documents show.
Its restaurant and retail space will include 5,200 square feet for a ground-floor restaurant and 1,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space marketed to arts-based tenants. The hotel would also feature a 2,650-square-foot restaurant on the building’s seventh floor.
Napa Industries owns three of the four parcels making up the project site and is in escrow to purchase the fourth, which is at 11121 Hesby St., from Michael John Raedeke of The JWR Living Trust, according to application filings.
