The developer acquired the land for $10.5 million in 2012, and built the project — dubbed C on Pico — in 2014, according to property records. It sits one block from the Bundy Expo line station.

Amoroso is working on another 90-unit complex at 1056, 1060 and 1066 South La Cienega Boulevard, TRD reported last month.
