<\/a>Rendering:\u00a0West Pacifica Design<\/a><\/em><\/p>\nFaircrest Heights, a picturesque residential neighborhood where the majority of the housing stock dates from the late 1920s to early 1940s, could finally see some new construction development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A proposal submitted last week to Los Angeles City Planning calls for a row of retailers at <\/span>6116-6144 West Pico Boulevard<\/span><\/a> to be replaced with 125 apartments and 4,500 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The planned complex consists of two structures linked by elevated open space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Applicant Nahum Samar, representing Pico Treasures LLC, proposes a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den apartments. Floorplans range from approximately 672 to 1,122 square feet and each unit features a 50-square-foot balcony. Thirteen units would be set aside for very low income households in exchange for Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) incentives.<\/p>\n Architectural drawings depict four individual retail or restaurant spaces fronting onto Pico Boulevard, along with two residential lobbies and a driveway leading to the 76-space underground parking garage. A total of 92 long-term and 14 short-term bicycle parking spaces are also pitched for the property.<\/p>\n The west lobby sits adjacent to a 662-square-foot gym, but most amenities are found on the second floor. Here, each structure would contain an indoor rec room and an open-air terrace with shared access to an expansive, central outdoor space. Landscape plans suggest that these outdoor areas would include dining tables, lounge seating and ample greenery.<\/p>\n West Pacifica Design envisioned the contemporary-style apartment complex, which showcases a white and gray fa\u00e7ade with orange framing. Dark-trimmed windows are paired with glass balcony guardrails, while large storefront windows occupy the ground floor. \u201cAn effort has been made towards fa\u00e7ade articulation, which provided a break in the look of the elevation and [avoided] a boxy and less attractive look,\u201d explains a <\/span>findings document<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n If approved, future residents of 6116-6144 West Pico Boulevard would live within walking distance of the vibrant Pico-Robertson corridor, known for its pedestrian-friendly streets, delicious restaurants, Kosher markets and must-try bakeries. The area is served by a number of bus routes and the onramp to the 10 Freeway is less than two miles away.<\/p>\n In the neighborhood, condo sales are underway at the recently-completed <\/span>Holt Villas<\/span><\/a>, while construction continues at the <\/span>Hi Point & Pickford Street<\/span><\/a> townhome development.<\/span><\/p>\n Faircrest Heights, a picturesque residential neighborhood where the majority of the housing stock dates from the late 1920s to early 1940s, could finally see some new construction development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":216967,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2021-05-24T20:13:33Z","apple_news_api_id":"a26b2cd5-f68a-4fe3-88f2-2ec584a54b2f","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2021-05-24T20:13:34Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Aomss1faKT-OI8i7FhKVLLw","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/u48r14.digitalhub.com\/sections\/09b86915-7d2b-3acd-915b-b215002d01b7"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11108],"tags":[11121,11122,11119],"coauthors":[8647],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n<\/a>Rendering:\u00a0West Pacifica Design<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
