Scouring the LA City Planning Department’s bi-weekly filings, this gem presented itself:
LEVEL OF BASEMENT PARKING
All of this just a quick walk from the Purple Line’s Wilshire/Normandie station (which makes the two levels of parking worrisome). If it seems like I mention Koreatown a lot in this blog, there’s a good reason for that. 535 S Kingsley joins a glut of new 5-7 floor residential buildings, including one behind the Wilshire Professional Building, Southwestern Law School’s new student housing, and the second phase of Century West’s K2LA development. While the casual observer doesn’t get too excited over inconspicuous wood frame apartment buildings, these kinds of project lay the framework for larger scale developments (like the 20+ floor Vermont Towers and their massive parking podium).
