Plans by Athens, Georgia-based student housing developer Landmark Properties for a seven-story, 37-unit community near UCLA will go before the Los Angeles Planning Commission next Thursday, according to the commission’s agenda.
The Westwood project would rise at 10915 Strathmore Drive, a vacant site just west of UCLA’s campus that was once improved with a Lutheran Church building. Landmark is joined in the planned development by Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects, plans show.
The development team is seeking off-menu incentives to allow a building height of about 90 feet in lieu of 45 feet allowed otherwise and open space of about 5,330 square feet in lieu of 7,400 square feet otherwise required. It would reserve five units for very low-income households, according to planning documents.
Plans call for one two-bedroom, seven three-bedrooms, two four-bedrooms, and 27 five-bedrooms. The project would provide 36 automobile parking spaces and 166 long-term bicycle spaces in one underground garage level.
Named The Mark at Los Angeles, the proposed development would also offer two courtyards, a fitness center, a study room, roof-deck space, a pool, and other amenities, plans show.
