Uncommon Developers foresees 143 apartments in Inglewood
L-shaped site would contain two complexes built in phases
Uncommon Developers plans to build 143 apartments in two buildings with stores in Inglewood.
The Chatsworth-based builder has filed plans to construct a four- and eight-story complex at 100 East Nutwood Street and 317 South La Brea Avenue, Urbanize Los Angeles reported. It would bulldoze two commercial buildings to clear space for the project.
Plans for the project next to Grevillea Art Park include 143 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments above 18,000 square feet of shops and restaurants. Underground parking would serve 224 cars.
The developer has proposed using density bonuses to build larger than zoning rules allow in exchange for 18 affordable units.
The charcoal and white buildings, designed by JZA Architecture, would be clad in stucco and fiber cement panels, with vertical and horizontal textures and rows of balconies, according to renderings.
The complex would have two courtyards, a rooftop pool deck and interior recreation rooms.
Pending approvals, Uncommon would break ground in August for its two-phase development, starting with the smaller four-story, 31-unit complex on Nutwood Street. It would later build the larger eight-story, 112-unit building fronting La Brea to the east.
The apartments would rise a few blocks south of La Brea and Florence Avenue, where Thomas Safran & Associates has built two projects with nearly 400 apartments within walking distance of Metro’s K Line.
In 2021, The Frank Gehry-designed home of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles debuted in a converted bank building nearby.
In August, Uncommon filed plans to build a 53-unit neo-Spanish Revival apartment building in Hollywood, also designed by JZA, and more than four times larger than its original plans.
The developer also has teamed up with JZA to build another 53-unit mixed-use project at 7771 West Beverly Boulevard in Fairfax.
The co-founders of Uncommon Developers are Jason Larian, son of billionaire toymaker Isaac Larian, CEO of MGA Entertainment, and Ryan Hekmat, who is married to Isaac Larian’s daughter. The offices of Uncommon Developers are inside the MGA headquarters building in the northwest San Fernando Valley.
