A developer has submitted plans to replace a single-family home in the Wilshire Park area with a four-story, 17-unit apartment community, a new planning case opened by the city of Los Angeles shows.
The project would rise near the southeastern corner of the intersection of West 8th Street and South Wilton Place at 810 S. Wilton Pl., according to plans. It is being led by site owner 810 Wilton Development Partners LLC, a company state business filings show is registered to the address of real estate company Betula Lenta, and its design is being led by Ara Meliksetyan of development services firm The Code Solution.
The developer is requesting Tier-3 project incentives under the city’s transit-oriented communities program, including an eight-unit density bonus (to the planned 17 apartments) and an 11-foot height increase to 56 feet. Per the TOC program, it would reserve three units for very low-income households.
Plans call for nine studio apartments, four one-bedrooms, and four two-bedrooms over one level of ground parking and one subterranean level of parking. The project would also provide 19 bicycle spaces, as well as about 2,000 square feet of open space that includes a 434-square-foot rear yard and about 1,300 square feet of roof deck space.
The project site was acquired by 810 Wilton Development Partners LLC for $1.2 million, according to a transaction recorded with Los Angeles County in May.
