The two-story wood-frame and stucco structure has a unit mix of 9 one-bedrooms with one-bathroom and 12 studios with a kitchen. There are approximately 10 open parking spaces. All entrances are secured and the 1920’s-built property is serviced by two center hallways and two staircases. PROPERTY SUMMARY Units 21 Year Built 1923 Parcel Number(s) 5077-029-008 Type of Buildings 1, Two-Stories with Parking Construction Type Wood-Frame and Stucco The Property | 7 LOCATION DESCRIPTION - KOREATOWN Koreatown is an ethnically diverse neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles situated south of the Hollywood Freeway (U.S. Route 101), north of the Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10), west of Downtown Los Angeles, and east of the Mid-Wilshire Neighborhood. Koreatown has over 40,100 persons per square mile, making it the densest neighborhood in Los Angeles. Koreatown is uniquely suited for renters. Average effective rent in Koreatown is typically about 5% less than in Downtown Los Angeles, and 82% of occupied housing is renter occupied. Approximately 39% of the households in Koreatown have an annual income of $35,000 or less. The neighborhood is rich with cultural cuisine and shopping and is close to world-famous attractions in Downtown Los Angeles and the Mid-Wilshire Neighborhood. Epicenter of Apartment Development Apartment construction in the city of Los Angeles is currently greatest in Koreatown. Multifamily developers have 23 apartment communities representing a total of 2,473 units under construction. Also under construction is a 468,000-square-foot, Class A office building in the nearby Mid-Wilshire Neighborhood. Commercial developments in the area in the planning stage include a 146,500-square-foot medical building and four hotels totaling nearly 400,000 square feet. New development in the area will provide rental upside in older rental buildings by creating a “drafting effect” on these luxury rental units. Solid Market Fundamentals Approximately 117,100 apartments are in the Mid-Wilshire submarket, which includes the Koreatown, Mid-Wilshire, and Silver Lake areas. The Mid-Wilshire submarket has healthy apartment fundamentals. Year-end apartment occupancy has exceeded 94% every year since 2012. From 2010 to 2019, annual apartment net absorption averaged over 500 units, and effective rents increased an average of 3.2% annually. 8 | The Property The Property | 9 LOCATION DESCRIPTION NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING DEMAND DRIVER LOS ANGELES, CA FROM THE FROM THE 2.0mi PROPERTY 1.9mi PROPERTY 2849 SAN MARINO STREET NEIGHBORHOOD QUICK FACTS SF SHOPPING JOBS 330k DESTINATION 1.7k SUPPORTED k TOTAL HOSPITAL 650.4 30 STORES 408 BEDS Population Zara | H&M | Target PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital (Within Three Miles) NEIGHBORHOOD CONVENIENCES DEMAND DRIVER 76% FROM THE 2.4mi PROPERTY Renter Occupied Housing Units (Within Three Miles) JOBS 26.1k SUPPORTED $ 866.6k STUDENTS 46.0k ENROLLED Median Housing Unit Value (Within Three Miles) Within a two-mile radius of the property University of Southern California $ PRIMARY EDUCATION DEMAND DRIVER 48.7k STUDENTS FROM THE Median Household Income 653k SERVED 3.0mi PROPERTY (Within Three Miles) JOBS WITHIN SCHOOLS A 10-MILE . k AND CENTERS k RADIUS * 14 500 10.6% SF OF JOBS OCCUPIED City Unemployment Rate 75.7k SUPPORTED 55.6m OFFICE SPACE Hoover Street ES | Berendo MS (*Preliminary for March 2021) Downtown Los Angeles Los Angeles HS of the Arts 10 | The Property The Property | 11 LOCATION MAP 12 | The Property LOCATION MAP The Property | 13 BOUNDARY AERIAL 14 | The Property The Property | 15 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Financial Analysis | 17 RENT ROLL Rent Roll Rent Roll Estimated Current Current Projected Projected Unit # Unit Description Unit SF Rate Rent Per SF Market Rate Rent Per SF Status 101 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $1,135.47 $2.27 $1,595.00 $3.19 102 Studio, One Bath 350 $1,295.00 $3.70 $1,295.00 $3.70 Vacant 103 Studio, One Bath 350 $812.05 $2.32 $1,295.00 $3.70 104 Studio, One Bath 350 $937.83 $2.68 $1,295.00 $3.70 105 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $823.08 $1.65 $1,595.00 $3.19 106 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $1,137.21 $2.27 $1,595.00 $3.19 107 Studio, One Bath 350 $794.13 $2.27 $1,295.00 $3.70 108 Studio, One Bath 350 $735.91 $2.10 $1,295.00 $3.70 109 Studio, One Bath 350 $679.49 $1.94 $1,295.00 $3.70 110 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $1,595.00 $3.19 $1,595.00 $3.19 Manager 111 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $1,197.89 $2.40 $1,595.00 $3.19 201 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $1,370.00 $2.74 $1,595.00 $3.19 202 Studio, One Bath 350 $764.86 $2.19 $1,295.00 $3.70 203 Studio, One Bath 350 $879.45 $2.51 $1,295.00 $3.70 204 Studio, One Bath 350 $805.42 $2.30 $1,295.00 $3.70 205 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $1,285.00 $2.57 $1,595.00 $3.19 206 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $1,022.99 $2.05 $1,595.00 $3.19 207 Studio, One Bath 350 $805.97 $2.30 $1,295.00 $3.70 208 Studio, One Bath 350 $978.50 $2.80 $1,295.00 $3.70 209 Studio, One Bath 350 $901.00 $2.57 $1,295.00 $3.70 210 One Bedroom, One Bath 500 $1,359.42 $2.72 $1,595.00 $3.19 Rent Range Projected Percentage Unit Description Estimated SF Current Rate Per SF Market Rate Percent Vacant Number Vacant Number of Units of Total Totals: Studio, One Bath 4,200.00 $10,389.61 $1.94 - $3.70 $15,540.00 8.33% 1 12 57.14% One Bedroom, One Bath 4,500.00 $10,926.06 $1.65 - $3.19 $14,355.00 9 42.86% 8,700 $21,315.67 $29,895.00 4.76% 1 21 Current Projected Projected % Estimated Rental Unit Description Estimated SF Current Rate Rent Per SF Market Rate Rent Per SF Upside Range Averages: Studio, One Bath 350.00 $865.80 $2.47 $1,295.00 $3.70 49.57% $679 - $1,295 One Bedroom, One Bath 500.00 $1,214.01 $2.43 $1,595.00 $3.19 31.38% $823 - $1,595 IMPORTANT INFORMATION & DISCLAIMER: The information contained herein is assumed to be correct and market-supported.

  • Historic Resources Survey, Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area Historic Districts, Planning Districts, and Multi‐Property Resources – 01/28/20
    Historic Resources Survey, Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area Historic Districts, Planning Districts, and Multi‐Property Resources – 01/28/20 Districts Name: De Longpre Park Residential Historic District Description: The De Longpre Park Residential Historic District is a concentration of pre‐World War II residences in central Hollywood. The district is flat and moderate in size. It encompasses an irregularly shaped area that is generally bounded by Leland Way on the north, Fountain Avenue and Homewood Avenue on the south, Hudson and Wilcox avenues on the east, and Cherokee Avenue on the west. The district is primarily composed of small, modest, single‐family residences that were built between the very early 20th century and the 1920s. These houses are sited on deep, narrow lots, and are one (and occasionally two) stories in height. They are designed in a variety of architectural styles that were popular at the time; the American Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and Spanish Colonial Revival styles are the most common, though some of the earlier houses exhibit characteristics of Late Victorian era styles. Common architectural features include flat or moderately pitched roofs with projecting eaves, exposed rafters, and eave returns; clay tile trim and coping (on Spanish Colonial Revival houses); front porches with articulated supports; wood clapboard and stucco wall cladding; and multi‐light wood windows. Many houses feature a detached garage or ancillary building at the rear of the lot. Common alterations include the replacement of original doors, windows, and wall cladding, and the addition of security bars and perimeter fences. Interspersed between these houses are a handful of multi‐family dwellings that generally complement the neighborhood’s scale and character, as well as a few examples of larger‐scale multi‐family properties – mostly apartment houses – that were built after World War II and do not contribute to the district.

  • Cities As Entertainment Centers: Can Transformative Projects Create Place?
    NOT FOR CITATION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHORS “Cities as Entertainment Centers: Can Transformative Projects Create Place? Lynne B. Sagalyn and Amanda G. Johnson Paper Prepared for “Explaining Metropolitan Transformation: Politics, Functions and Symbols” Special Master Class University of Amsterdam Amsterdam, The Netherlands January 25-26, 2013 Cities have long been identified as centers for entertainment. By historical evolution or deliberate public policy, across the globe the core of the entertainment industry has lodged itself in the city center. Times Square in New York and the West End of London may be the most iconic centers, but Toronto’s Entertainment Center and Cleveland’s Playhouse Square derive from a similar centralizing root, as did Potsdamer Platz before the Berlin Wall divided that city. City life itself is often considered theater, a place of real-time performance, street dance, and impromptu staccato of entertainment. Akin to this informal, popular side of city entertainment, amusement parks first found vibrant, if temporary, expression in the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, whereas by the turn of the century the People’s Playground of Coney Island had become the uncontested epicenter of America’s emerging mass culture. As an idea to shape and promote city identity and draw large numbers of tourists and residents, arts districts fashioned out of whole cloth and invented by public policy began to spring into being in Dallas, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Kansas City and numerous other urban centers in the 1980s. Whether for live- theater performance, mass amusement, or arts entertainment, as a location of centrality, cities have 1 C:\Users\lbs4\Documents\Papers\Amsterdam_2013\FINAL DRAFT FILES\Cities as Entertainment Centers_Sagalyn_Johnson_012413.docx long had a competitive advantage, and this has been no less the case as evolving cultural notions of entertainment increasingly have shifted to sports events and produced new large-format entertainment centers such as London’s O2, L.A.

  • LYTTON SAVINGS 8150 SUNSET BOULEVARD Historic-Cultural Monument Application
    LYTTON SAVINGS 8150 SUNSET BOULEVARD Historic-Cultural Monument Application Dale: I &/1. <"/ I /- Submitted in fl.wt1 ~Commi ttee Council File No: I(, - I o1 y Item No. I '1 Deputy:.------- Pamela Deuel Meyer 2702 Westshire Drive, los Angeles, CA 90068 August4, 2016 To: Commissioners, Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission Re: Lytton Savings Building, 8150 Sunset Blvd. Good morning; Commissioners. My name is Pamela Meyer. My husband was Kurt Meyer, the architect of the Lyttons Savings building, and I've come here today in support of the application to preserve it by including it into the overall project. Since the present Gehry design is not as monolithic as the previous one, it could more easily integrate an existing low rise structure -Kurt's bulding-· amid the jumble of his signature low rise volumes along Sunset. I don't know if people realize the unique stained glass walls made by Basque artist Roger Derricarrere, who ts known for inventing the technique of dalle de verre. He cast each glass slab individually, with their vtvid, fiery colors. Born and educated in Zurich, Switzerland, Kurt came to Los Angeles in 1949 as a young architect, inspired most of all by Le Corbusier. In 1959 Bart Lytton asked Kurt to design the headquarters building for Lytton Savings and Loan. It was Kurt's first major project, and tt launched his long and successful career.Bart wanted the building to be quickly built, so Kurt needed to find a strong design that could be quickly constructed. He decided to precast the folded plate roof slabs at the same time that the building was under construction.

  • 48 Things to Do in 48 Hours in L.A. Here's the Challenge: You Have Two Days to Visit Los Angeles And, Aspiring Screenwriter Th
    48 Things to Do in 48 Hours in L.A. Here’s the challenge: You have two days to visit Los Angeles and, aspiring screenwriter that you are, you know those 48 hours have to count. Aside from doing the obvious, i.e., setting up as many meetings with interested agents, producers, managers, and other industry professionals in advance, what else can you do to meet and greet the locals? Armed with a stack of business cards and a positive attitude toward everyone you see, here are some ways to be in places where you can possibly meet new “friends of friends”: 1) Visit the WGA, west headquarters at 7000 W. Third St. and pay homage to the dispensers of the fabled “green envelope.” The phone number is 800.548.4532. Their website is www.wga.org. 2) Have the experience of registering a script or treatment in person. ($20 per script for non-Guild members, $10 for Guild members) 3) Visit the Writers Guild Foundation library, a quiet space to write, use reference materials and wi-fi, or read a script in their collection. Hours are listed on their website, http://www.wgfoundation.org. 4) Also, call in advance to see if the Guild or Foundation is offering any special panels or events open to the public. 5) Visit The Writers Store at 3510 W. Magnolia Blvd in Burbank. They’re open Monday-Saturday from 10:00 am-6:00 pm. Phone is 800.272.8927; their website is https://www.writersstore.com. They too sponsor many evening events.
