In 2018 the City of Los Angeles made over 1,700 city-owned parcels available to affordable housing developers, including difficult sites along heavy-traffic corridors and next to freeways. Several sites were composite parcels left untouched for decades. LOHA and non-profit Holos Communities collaborated on a 35,000-square-foot, 54-unit housing project with an adjacent paseo that repurposes a 19,814-square-foot triangular site, uniting a traffic island and a former railroad right-of-way. The site sits near the busy interchange of the 110 and 105 freeways. The design mitigates site challenges and improves livability in a constrained, high-traffic urban location.
