Apartment Building Approved for NoHo

An infill multifamily project proposed by Garen Boyajian of Blix Equities has been given the go-ahead in North Hollywood.In a unanimous vote this week, the Los Angeles City Planning Commission approved plans for an 18-unit apartment building, to be erected at 10912 W. Blix St.  The Commission approved density bonus incentives requested by the developer and granted the project a Class 32 exemption from review under the California Environmental Quality Act.Designed by Bittoni Architects, the residential project, which will replace an existing fourplex, seeks to establish a five-story structure with 18 one- and two-bedroom apartments perched on a 16-vehicle subterranean garage. The building will consist of wood-frame construction on a concrete podium with contemporary black and white exterior and rooftop deck.  In exchange for incentives, Blix Equities will create three low-income apartments and will not impose rent increases on multi-year leases.Boyajian’s development is not the only boutique multifamily project currently in the works for Blix Street: A 21-unit, four-story complex with parking for 17 vehicles is going to replace a vacant single-family home at 10804 – 10806 W. Blix St. Developed by IM Home and designed by Bijan Azadi & Associates, that project is currently under construction.
