Work has begun on phase II of Rose Hill Courts, a 96-unit affordable housing project in Los Angeles. The third phase is being built by R.D. Olson Construction on behalf of Related California Properties and the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA).
Phase II of Rose Hill Courts will feature seven apartment buildings ranging from two to three stories with basements. Additionally, a one-level community building will be dedicated to resident gatherings and events. The development will span a total of 115.4k sf of gross building area across a 150.4k sf site.
The $57.8 mil development, expected to be completed in 2027, will generate more than 400 construction jobs. The project is designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding landscape through a complex multi-elevation layout featuring retaining walls and terraced construction that accommodates the site’s natural hillside.
Community-centric amenities in Phase II of Rose Hill Courts will offer a variety of features designed to foster engagement and promote resident well-being. These include a dedicated community building for events and social gatherings, an outdoor playground, and a basketball court. Additionally, tuck-under parking will be available for five of the apartment buildings.
In addition to pursuing the LEED certification and the integration solar panels, the project will incorporate sustainable building practices, including recycling initiatives and water reclamation systems to promote eco-friendly living.
The project builds upon the success of Phase I, which was completed in 2023, continuing the effort to address Los Angeles’ pressing need for affordable housing. Partners on the project include, Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA), Related California Properties, BSB Design (formerly Withee Malcolm Architects) and AMJ Construction Management.
