The Los Angeles planning department has given approvals to plans for a six-story, 23-unit apartment project in Westwood by developer Brennen Hakimian Holdings, according to a determination letter posted by the city last week.
Named Veteran Apartments, the project will replace a six-unit apartment building at the southeastern corner of the intersection of Veteran and Wilkins Avenues and across the street from Westwood Park. The site is owned by an affiliate of commercial real estate company George Smith Partners, which acquired the property last year for about $3.53 million, according to Los Angeles County property records.
Granted Tier-3 project incentives under the city’s transit-oriented communities program, the development plans move forward with approvals for a 15-percent, or four-unit, density bonus, among other TOC options. Per the city’s program, the development will set aside three units for extremely low-income households.
The community will hold 10 one-bedrooms ranging from 373 to 405 square feet, two two-bedrooms at about 520 square feet each, one 860-square-foot four-bedroom, one 1,159-square-foot five-bedroom, and nine six-bedrooms ranging from 1,126 to 1,179 square feet, plans show.
The project will also offer about 1,700 square feet of open space and amenities including a recreation room and roof deck, along with two underground parking levels with 21 stalls.
The project architect for Veteran Apartments is listed as Warren Techentin Architecture.
