Taking a lead from Koreatown’s burgeoning condo market, Los Angeles-based firm LaTerra Development has requested a vesting tentative tract for the construction of 221 condo units between Westlake and Koreatown, The Real Deal has learned.

The step is very preliminary, LaTerra’s VP of acquisitions and development, Chris Tourtellotte, told TRD. More details will emerge as the project takes shape. 

The project will either be condos and apartments, he told TRD, with a maximum of 221 units. LaTerra acquired the site at 235 North Hoover Street in April. The vacant land spans nearly three acres.
