North Hollywood, home to the dual terminus of Metro's Red and Orange Lines, is gradually embracing its role as one of the San Fernando Valley's few urban hubs. Plans are already in the works for a high-rise commercial development atop the station's sprawling park-and-ride lot. Now, according to environmental documents published by LADCP, smaller infill projects are starting to take form on nearby properties.
Ikon Hospitality, a local investor specializing in Southern California hotel properties, is one of several developers active in the neighborhood. Last year,the company submitted plans to the city for a boutique hotel at 11326 Weddington Street, just one block south of North Hollywood Station. The four-story development, designed by Irvine-based architecture firm nKlosures, would contain 43 guest rooms and gallery space for local artists.
A slightly larger 70-room inn, also designed by nKlosures, is planned further east on parcels at 11135-45 Burbank Boulevard.
