Essex Portfolio L.P. had proposed a mixed-use development on an approximately 2.06 acre site located at the southern end of Argyle Avenue, between Sunset Boulevard and Leland Way in the Hollywood community of the City of Los Angeles. The Project Site is currently developed with a building constructed in the late 1930s as the Earl Carroll Theatre (ECT Building) and a surface parking lot with accessory structures. The ECT Building has been used by the Nickelodeon on Sunset Corporation (Nickelodeon) as a sound stage for television productions with associated offices since the early 1980s.
The Project would protect and retain the ECT Building and construct a new seven-story, mixed-use building on the western portion of the Project Site. The Project includes approximately 4,700 square feet of ground floor commercial space and 200 residential units. Five percent of the residential units are restricted as very-low income. The Project would also provide a pedestrian paseo between the new building and the ECT Building that would link Sunset Boulevard and Leland Way. Other amenities associated with the residential units include a lobby, fitness center, pool terrace, pool, spa area, sky deck, landscaped areas, and a club house/lounge area. Parking would be located in a four-level, 316 space parking structure with two levels of subterranean parking, an at-grade parking level, and one level above-grade. Bicycle parking would also be provided. The new building would include up to approximately 179,397 square feet of commercial and residential space (4,700 square feet of commercial, 167,764 square feet of residential, and 6,395 square feet of indoor amenities and lobby/leasing area).
