Proposed Development at 1220 S. Hope Street

         Developer Relevant Group presented a proposed mixed-use development at 1220 S. Hope Street to the Planning and Land Use Committee of Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council (DLANC). The proposal is for an eight-story building with 531 studio apartments, parking for 109 vehicles, and 7,000+ square feet of ground floor commercial space. Twenty-seven of the apartments would be for low-income households.

         MVE + Partners is designing the project with a contemporary podium-type building with a black exterior accented with brick and wood panels with multiple courtyards and a rooftop pool deck.

         Relevant Group is also the developer of the next-door Morrison Hotel which was recently the scene of a major fire.

         South Park Neighborhood Association is reaching out to the Relevant Group for more information on the project.
