Elijah Suval, Daniel Hirth, and Alex Reyhan of The Hirth Group have been exclusively selected to market for sale – 3416 E 1st St, Los Angeles, CA 90063. The subject property consists of 3,295 SF of building on 10,137 SF of C2 zoned land.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly entitled 100% affordable housing development in the heart of Boyle Heights, one of L.A.’s most culturally rich and transit-accessible neighborhoods. The project is approved for a 50-unit, five-story apartment building utilizing the State Density Bonus program with zero parking required, taking full advantage of its proximity to the Metro E-Line. Designed with a unit mix of studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms—along with significant open space incentives and an FAR of 2.96:1—the future development offers investors a plug-and-play opportunity to deliver deeply needed affordable housing supported by federal and state funding tools.
In addition to the fully entitled 100% affordable project, the site also offers potential for a market-rate or mixed-income development. Based on the current zoning and development standards, a 45-unit project totaling approximately 32,945 buildable square feet could be achievable, with a mix of 5 extremely low-income units and 40 market-rate units. This alternative path provides flexibility for a developer seeking to explore a higher-return strategy, subject to entitlement and city approval.
