Approved in November, plans call for an approximately 47,000-square-foot, 106-foot-tall building at 1130 South Hope Street, a vacant, roughly 8,000-square-foot lot. The development proposal is being led by Domyan Properties, an affiliate of which acquired the project site in 2020 for $6.5 million.

Appellants Evo Homeowners Association and Luma Homeowners Association argue that the design for the proposal fails to comply with South Park Business Improvement District values, as well as citywide and downtown codes and guidelines. In a report, planning staff recommend that commissioners deny the appeals and sustain the earlier project approvals.

If allowed to move forward, the 112-key hotel development will also contain 528 square feet of ground-floor retail space, along with hotel features including a conference room, a business center, a roof deck, and several lounge and exercise areas. The project would provide 23 automobile parking spaces.

Designs for the DTLA project are being led by Bucilla Group Architecture and follow initial plans for an 11-story development at the site.
