Mixed-use apartment complex on the rise at 6055 W. Pico Boulevard
Wood framing is starting to rise above the concrete podium of a mixed-use residential development in Carthay.
The project from Wiseman Residential, located at 6055 W. Pico Boulevard, will eventually consist of a six-story building featuring 125 apartments above 4,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and semi-subterranean parking.
Located at Pico's intersection with Crescent Heights Boulevard, the apartment complex was entitled using Transit Oriented Communities incentives, which allowed for a larger structure than otherwise permitted by zoning rules. In exchange for the bonuses, Wiseman is required to set aside 13 of the new apartments as deed-restricted affordable housing at the extremely low-income level.
Uriu & Associates is designing the 6055 Pico, which has been described as combining Spanish influences and traditional materials. Plans call for amenities including a courtyard and a pool deck.
The project site sits just two blocks west of the intersection of Pico Boulevard and Point View Avenue, where Los Angeles-based Cityview recently completed construction of a similar mixed-use building featuring 123 apartments above retail space.
Wiseman, in addition to its Carthay project, has also developed multiple projects along Pico in the neighboring Mid-Wilshire community.
