| The Studio District Homes on Gordon Street (Image: Modative) |
While a NIMBY attorney wages war against high-rise construction on Sunset Boulevard, density of a lesser variety flies under the radar just a few blocks south. According to a presentation from the Hollywood Studio District Neighborhood Council, a new small lot subdivision is in the works at 1238-1242 Gordon Street, an approximately quarter-acre property between Fountain and Lexington Avenues.
The project - known as the Studio District Homes on Gordon Street - is being designed by Mid-City-based architecture firm Modative. Plans call for the construction of 10 single-family residences, located within matching three-story structures. Each individual home would span approximately 1,500 square feet, containing three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Additionally, all units would feature a private outdoor roof deck and two dedicated parking spaces.
Construction of the Studio District Homes will first require the demolition of two existing structures, one of which is a century-old bungalow. However, an exact timeline for the project is currently unclear. At the time of publication, the Department of Building and Safety had yet to issue new permits of any sort for the properties at 1238-1242 Gordon Street.

This site is just a few blocks from where I work. This neighborhood is a dump, IMO. I've been here for over 35 years and I wonder just how much gentrification I'll see before I retire.
ReplyDeleteSeems like the blockbusters on Hollywood and Sunset are moving pretty rapidly, but the smaller infill to the north and south will be a long time in the making.
